    Looking for that perfect pickleball meme to send to your pickleball group chat? Check out these memes for the pickler in you. The spirit of pickleball is all about camaraderie and lighthearted fun, so of course, these memes don't disappoint.

    An obscure sport

    Pickleball is one of the newest sports currently played in the US and across the world. This means there are a lot of people who might never have seen a pickleball court, let alone played a pickleball game.

    For your friends and family who don’t understand your obsession with pickleball:

    Really? I figured word had gotten out by now…

    For everyone who’s ever asked you why it’s called “pickleball” and if there are pickles involved:

    For your newbie pickleball friends trying to get used to pickleball’s scoring system:

    The up-and-comer

    Just because pickleball is a new sport doesn’t mean it’s not on the rise. In fact, more and more people are coming round to the pickleball life, as the number of pickleball players quickly races up on more established sports like tennis.

    Try sending these memes to your tennis playing friends, or to those who love pickleball and want to bask in its popularity.

    For those awkward moments in the car with your tennis friends:

    We all knew it, but someone had to say it:

    Imagine tennis… but… not tennis:

    Watch out, tennis, we’re coming for ya!

    We’ve all been there….

    Always waiting

    It can be hard when you’ve got to wait such a long time to play your next pickleball game, especially when you’re a full-on pickleball lover!

    These are some of the best pickleball memes that all players can relate to when you’re just desperate to play:

    Sometimes spring just can’t come soon enough:

    What else is there?

    Counting down the days…

    Is there really any other way to spend your money?

    Equipment

    As with any hobby, one of the great joys is investing in equipment (sometimes way too much equipment!).

    So whether you’re searching for your next pickleball gift, hunting for a new pickleball paddle to perfect your dink, or are just a bit of a hoarder, these memes might be for you:

    One more paddle is always better, right?

    Nothing like that feeling…

    If you know, you know…

    Competitive Nature

    Pickleball is a fun, social sport. That doesn’t mean it can’t get competitive!

    We’ve all got a pickleball friend who takes the game way too seriously – or maybe that friend is you! Either way, these memes speak to the competitive pickler in all of us. Because when you’re obsessed with that pickleball life, nothing matters more than what happens on the pickleball court!

    It happens to the best of us.

    Everyone’s got a pickleball nemesis, right?

    “I’m playing pickleball for fun today”

    Mixing love with pickleball can be dicey:

    Which one are you?

    Kitchen Memes

    Of all the pickleball rules, there is one that is more well known than the rest.

    Every pickleball addict, from USAPA approved pros to new-to-the-game amateurs, has heard the iconic shout of ‘KITCHEN!’ Whether you’re new to the game or looking to hone your skills, any pickleball tips you pick up are likely to revolve around the most unique part of the pickleball court: the Kitchen/non-volley zone.

    These posts, like all the best sports memes, embrace what makes pickleball unique: its unique, nuanced pickleball rule.

    This is what having your partner’s back looks like.

    Perfectly executed… almost.

    You run the kitchen, or the kitchen runs you…

    We’ve all done it… mwahahaha.
