Pickleball originated in the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, when three friends sought to create a fun new game for their families. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, they crafted a unique sport that could be enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels. With a simple setup involving wooden paddles, a perforated plastic ball, and a net, the game quickly gained popularity, spreading across the United States and beyond. What started as a casual backyard activity soon evolved into a thriving competitive sport, characterized by its lively gameplay and emphasis on community, making it a perfect fit for social interaction and fitness. Today, pickleball continues to flourish, bringing people together on courts like those at the Florence Oregon Pickleball Club.

At the Florence Oregon Pickleball Club, we pride ourselves on being more than just a community; we are a close-knit family connected by our shared enthusiasm for this dynamic sport. Whether you are picking up a paddle for the very first time or refining your skills for more competitive play, our inviting and inclusive atmosphere welcomes players of all abilities to dive into the excitement.
