More than 36 million played Pickleball in 2022, according to data.

Pickleball Boom of 2022

We already knew it, but now there is some data to back it. The pickleball boom is real. More than 36 million people, including Eli Manning and myself played the sport last year, according to a new report by the Association of Pickleball Professionals. This is a huge increase from the five million players in 2021 in recent months. Star athletes ranging from Lebron James to tom brady and yes, Eli Manning, who you see on screen with me there. They brought more than some major high profile attention to this board, with some even investing in professional pickleball teams. It's a lot of fun. I would recommend it.
