The Power of Pickleball
“The Power of Pickleball is a documentary that traces how pickleball grew from a backyard game invented in 1965 into a bold movement uniting generations. The film mixes the origin story of pickleball with the present-day focusing on the grassroots volunteers, ambassadors, and communities that built the sport long before its mainstream boom. It features interviews with pro players like Ben Johns, Colin Johns, and Catherine Parenteau, along with business figures such as Steve Kuhn (Major League Pickleball) and Jared Paul (The Kitchen), plus descendants of the game’s founding Pritchard family and longtime historians like Jennifer Lucore. The thematic throughline is what the title suggests: pickleball’s ability to create community, spark joy, and change lives across generations and backgrounds.”
