A Guinness World Record attempt to complete 48 pickleball matches across the “Lower 48” in fewer than 48 days, aptly named “The 48-48-48 Pickleball Challenge”, gets underway in Mobile, AL, on May 1 in Mobile, Alabama.

The challenge makes its 19th stop at the 307 Tennis Club, 455 Thelma Drive in Casper, WY, on May 13 at 11 a.m., where Dean “The Pickleball Pilot” Matt and Shannon Yeager will match up against Luke Gilliam and Tyler Daugherty from Visit Casper.

“We’re excited to be part of this world record–breaking event,” said Daugherty, C.E.O. of Visit Casper. “It’s a great chance for Casper to participate in a cool endeavor while also allowing us to learn more about the ever-growing sport of pickleball.”

Spectators are welcome to the free-to-attend event, and Daugherty added, “We’d love to have as many Casper locals as possible come to this game. It’s amazing to see pickleball grow and take off, especially in Casper.”

Pickleball in Casper, WY

The 307 Tennis Club is available for up to 40 hours of court play every week and welcomes players of all skill levels. They also feature a free seven-day trial membership and a mixer league every second Friday of the month for all-ages and all-levels.

The new Y.M.C.A Facility in Casper offers free beginners’ clinics and also features several pickleball leagues and open court times.

The Casper Rec Center will have drop-in pickleball leagues all week with times to play in the morning and afternoon from late August.

Some brand new pickleball courts will soon be available at Washington Park as Casper moves to cope with the increase in pickleball popularity. The park is looking to become an important part of Casper’s sporting and social circles with its swimming pool, tennis court, playground, picnic tables, and baseball diamonds.

When I first started writing about pickleball, I hadn't appreciated the huge range of related features it encompasses: from building communities and players fighting against court closures to overcoming health challenges and raising money for charity, it's a whole new world! I love the stories about the smaller towns from the farthest-flung corners of the U.S. and how those residents have adopted pickleball to create friendships and community spirit.
