On #NationalInventorsDay it’s only right we give a shout out to the origins of our sport! Pickleball was invented on Bainbridge island outside Seattle in 1965 by Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum. These three wanted to keep their kids entertained with a fun summertime activity that turned into the sport we know and love today! What’s your favorite story for how Pickleball got its name? 👇 #FranklinFamily #FranklinPickleball
