Latest News & Events
Pickleball is growing fast!
We estimate that there are around 40,000 pickleball players in England.
Sport England’s Active Lives Survey results support this estimate. We have registered over 10,000 players since our launch and we have ~640 places to play listed on our club locator.
Pickleball continues to grow because of volunteers across the country at club level, county level, regional level and national level. Thank you everyone, together we make a difference.

Pickleball England Achieves Sport England Recognition
17.12.24
We learned that not only has pickleball been recognised by the four Home Country Sports Councils (Sport England, sportscotland, Sport Wales and Sport Northern Ireland) but that Sport England has recognised Pickleball England as the NGB of the sport in England. Sportscotland recognised our sister organisation Pickleball Scotland as the NGB in Scotland.
This is fantastic news for pickleball and for our respective organisations. We will provide more of an update as soon as we can. We are now officially allowed to display the Sport England logo on our website. [Please note that Sport England have advised that this does not enable clubs to use the logo unless they are in receipt of Sport England funding.
