PICKLEBALL GROWTH
Pickleball, invented 53 years ago has recently become one of the fastest growing sports in America. With a relatively low cost to enter the sport and a fast-growing number of locations to play, Pickleball has become an alternative to other more traditional sports. The Sports & Fitness Association (SFIA) has stated in their 2018 SFIA Topline Report that Pickleball participation is currently over 3.1 million players in the US. That is an increase of 11.3% over 2017. And a 3 year average growth of 8.5%. On the supply side over 1,000 Pickleball locations have been opened in the last year, a 25% increase.
REPORT FINDINGS
Pickleball locations aren’t just concentrated in metropolitan areas with high baby boomers. Many have thought that the highest concentration is in areas with retirement communities. Our report finds that some of the top metros have solid demographics for families.
