Curaçao is about to become the hub for Pickleball in the region!
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in North America. The number of pickleballers has increased by over 40% percent over the past two years, with approximately 6 million players worldwide. This sport can be played by a 4 year old or a 84 year old! The courts are cost-effective to build and do not take much real estate and it is so much fun to play!
Curaçao has been selected to host the 2025 American Championships and we are in discussion to build a series of courts in the Curaçao school system. We predict that there will be a pickleball court in every hotel and at every beach in the next few years.
The benefits do not end there:
For youth: Pickleball has proven to enhance cognitive functions, memory retention, and overall academic performance. Pickleball can provide students with a well-rounded education that promotes physical health, mental well-being, and academic success. In the school system, it has the potential to lower truancy rates and boost engagement and attendance in school activities. www.pickleballschools.com
For community: Pickleball is a platform for intergenerational community engagement and mentorship. Familes of all different ages can play fostering positive role modeling and personal growth.
For sports tourism: Recognizing the sport’s growing popularity, the travel industry has embraced pickleball, offering dedicated courts in hotels, resorts, cruise ships, and even tour companies. Many hotels now consider pickleball a must-have amenity, boasting novelty experiences like glow-in-the-dark pickleball, and tournaments for guests.
