Record Crowds at 2023 Pickleball Nationals

The 2023 USA Pickleball National Championships made history with record-breaking attendance, underscoring the sport's skyrocketing popularity. Held in Naples, Florida, the event attracted over 4,000 participants, a 25% increase from the previous year. Spectators were treated to a thrilling display of skill and strategy, particularly in the mixed doubles final where Lucy Kovalova and Matt Wright clinched the title. The championship also served as a platform for emerging young talent, signaling a bright future for the sport. This surge in interest has been attributed to pickleball's accessibility and its growing presence in community centers and schools across the country.
