Pickleball is about community 🏓 From the moment I picked up a paddle, I realized that pickleball was more than just a sport. It’s about connection—about building a space where people from all walks of life come together. Seriously. There isn't a sport where all ages, genders, sizes, etc., can head to a court and play a game together. That’s why at Canyon Pickleball, we’ve made it our mission to foster a community where EVERYONE feels welcome, encouraged, and supported. Whether you’re brand new to the game or have played for years, you'll feel like you belong at Canyon. We believe that community is what makes pickleball special. It’s the heart of what we’re building. 🧡 We’re proud of the community we’ve created, and we’re just getting started. So, if you’re looking for a place where you’re not just another player but part of something bigger, you’re in the right spot. Have you given pickleball a try yet?

 Exciting Times for Pickleball Enthusiasts on Long Island! Hey LinkedIn fam!   Let's talk about the soaring demand for pickleball courts right here on Long Island, New York! Pickleball is taking the region by storm, and the buzz is real!   With its fast-paced action and inclusive nature, it's no surprise that enthusiasts are on the lookout for top-notch facilities to enjoy the game year-round. One of the key challenges we're facing in meeting this demand is the need for indoor pickleball courts with a ceiling height of 17 feet or higher.   This requirement ensures that players can fully unleash their skills without any hindrance. It's not just about hitting the ball; it's about the freedom to play at the highest level! As we strive to provide quality facilities, addressing the ceiling height challenge becomes crucial. It involves thoughtful planning, renovations, and a commitment to creating spaces that cater to the growing pickleball community on Long Island. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this pickleball boom! Are you a seasoned player looking for the perfect court, or perhaps a facility manager navigating these challenges? Let's connect and brainstorm innovative solutions!   Together, we can elevate the pickleball experience on Long Island and foster a community that thrives on passion and camaraderie. #Pickleball #LongIslandSports #SportsCommunity #PickleballCourts #IndoorSports #CommunityBuilding #CRE #commercialrealestate

Why is it called pickleball? Over the past few weeks, I have had the privilege of reconnecting with old friends and have told them that I work for Short Court Sports, a custom pickleball paddle company. The most common response I have received is, “why is it called pickleball?” The story I love to share is the one about a dog named Pickles. The co-founder loved playing with his dog Pickles and realized how nice it was when Pickles would go retrieve his balls during a game. He wanted to dedicate the sport to his dog, so that’s how the sport got its name “pickleball”. There is no truth to that story, but everyone loves a good dog story, right? The co-founders told that story to an interviewer, and the story blew up. They later came out and explained that the story was not true. The real reason it is called pickleball is because Joan Pritchard, wife of the co-founder Joel Pritchard, stated the term came from “pickle boat”, which is a rowing term that includes all leftover crew members. However, controversy arose in the town because the Pritchards did have a dog named Pickles, and the town was not sure what story to believe. Joel Pritchard had to later explain that pickleball was created three years before Pickles was born. I will still continue to tell the tale of Pickles, but it is always good to know the real facts. The next time someone brings up pickleball, you will have a story to share!  #ShortCourtSundays
