The global pickleball market is expanding, with the paddle market estimated at $152.8 million in 2022 and expected to grow at a 7.7% compound annual growth rate through 2028. This financial growth underscores the sport's increasing economic significance and its potential for further expansion​​.

The success in schools is largely due to the ease of adapting existing sports infrastructure for pickleball. Many schools have pre-existing courts that can be refurbished, and integrating pickleball into the school sports curriculum has been seamless, given the enthusiasm it has garnered among students. Looking ahead, the prospects for pickleball in Africa are immensely promising. Our vision aligns closely with the global initiative outlined at PickleballSchools.org, focusing on community engagement, skill development, and fostering a love for the sport.

It all begins with an idea.

Pickleball Schools is partnered with The Global Pickleball Federation (GPF) to drive grassroots adoption of the schools in communities internationally. The Federation is the premier international governing body for pickleball, fostering a unified and high-standard governance for the sport globally. Their mission encompasses promoting, leading, and supporting the growth and development of pickleball for all ages and skill levels, with a vision of making pickleball a world-class sport.
