The Funny Guide to Pickleball

The Laugh-out-loud Pickleball Book for Players Who Take It Too Seriously (and Love Every Second)!

This brutally honest (and deeply sarcastic) guide captures the full descent—from hater to hardcore lifer—in America’s favorite midlife obsession: pickleball.

Whether you’re still mocking the game from afar or secretly Googling paddle reviews at work, this book knows exactly who you are and how you got here. Because pickleball isn’t just a sport—it’s a cult. A hilarious, injury-prone, overly competitive cult you never meant to join.

Inside The Funny Guide to Pickleball, you'll find:

• A step-by-step timeline of denial, reluctant acceptance, and full-blown addiction
• The soul-searching shame of that first paddle purchase
• A close-up look at league night drama, mid-match trash talk, and paddle-fueled power trips
• Your rapid evolution from casual player to self-declared 3.5 with delusions of pro status
• Plus: social snubs, court scandals, and the inevitable moment you wear your pickleball gear... to dinner

This book is for the overly invested, the newly converted, and anyone who swore, “I’ll only play once.” It's the ultimate gift for that pickleball-obsessed friend (or partner) in your life—especially if that friend is you.

Perfect for birthdays, retirements, holidays, or the next time someone sprains their ankle mid-match.
