Over the past five years, pickleball has become the fastest-growing sport in America. Pickleball began in 1965 when families on Washington’s Bainbridge Island created the game to entertain their children. It has grown in great popularity and now hundreds of tournaments are played annually. The growth is continuing right here in Arizona.
The Picklr, an indoor pickleball club is expanding with new locations in the Valley.
The indoor club is expanding across the country and announced on Thursday plans to open 80 new facilities in nearly a dozen states. Six locations in Arizona are being planned and will open in the cities of Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa, and Phoenix.
Details of the exact locations and opening dates have not yet been released.
The Picklr offers lessons, clinics, leagues opportunities and tournaments.
