Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing racquetball sports, but it appears that not everyone is pleased with its rising notoriety. Yes, those in the vicinity of the pickleball court have begun to become irritated by the repetitive “pop pop” sound made by the paddle striking the ball. Tennis players and some neighbors are going wild due to the noise and destruction caused by the fastest-growing sport in the country.

It wouldn’t be inaccurate to argue that the racquetball sport with the quickest rate of growth, played by millions, is currently in dire straits. Pickleball gained popularity swiftly, but its demise may have already occurred. Numerous lawsuits calls to the police for unprovoked altercations, and petitions for which there is no apparent remedy have greatly hampered the sport.
