With millions of players across the U.S., pickleball has been named the fastest-growing sport in the country — for the past three years.

Pickleball began in 1965 as a children's backyard game, but today is also played by professionals. Its appeal is broad. The sport is described as an easier, more accessible version of tennis, with some elements of badminton and pingpong.

Maine pickleballers can play on courts in nearly 100 communities, according to Pickleheads.com. And more courts are to come. Two pickleball clubs, with space totaling 89,000 square feet, are under development in Cumberland County and plan to open before the end of the year.

    Geez, with tennis, racquetball, badminton, ping pong, squash, Frisby, I'm not so bored as to try pickleball. I need something new like a cornhole in my head. Or darts, or cribbage, or a hundred other card games, chess, checkers, ... there's enough options already and no need for more.
