Get to know us
Pickleball is more than a game. It's a passport.
From neighborhood courts in Florida to growing communities in Argentina, France, Mexico, and beyond, The Wandering Pickleball explores the people, places, and stories shaping the sport around the world.
We're interested in what happens beyond the scoreboard: the friendships formed during open play, the local cultures embracing the game, the tournaments that bring strangers together, and the adventures that start with a paddle in hand.
Whether you're a seasoned competitor, a recreational player, or someone who plans vacations around finding a new court, you're in the right place.
Join us as we chase great stories, discover new destinations, and follow pickleball wherever it leads.
Play. Explore. Improve. Wander.
Our mission
To connect the global pickleball community through storytelling, travel, and shared experiences—celebrating the people, places, and cultures that make the sport more than just a game. The Wandering Pickleball exists to tell the stories behind the sport. Through travel, journalism, photography, and community, we explore how pickleball is bringing people together across cities, countries, and continents.
Our vision
We envision a future where pickleball becomes a truly global community—one that inspires curiosity, friendship, and adventure both on and off the court.
About our founder
Hi, I'm Chloe.
I'm a journalist, traveler, and pickleball player who discovered the sport's global reach while living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After finding local courts and meeting players from across Latin America, I became fascinated by the communities building pickleball far beyond the United States.
The Wandering Pickleball is our attempt to tell those stories. Through interviews, tournament coverage, travel guides, and on-the-ground reporting, we explore how a game built around connection is creating communities all over the world.
Más Que un Juego: Una Comunidad Global
El pickleball está creciendo en todo el mundo, pero su verdadera fuerza no se encuentra en los rankings ni en los trofeos. Se encuentra en las personas.
En The Wandering Pickleball, creemos que una cancha puede unir a personas de diferentes países, idiomas y culturas. Desde Buenos Aires hasta París, desde Lima hasta Miami, hemos visto cómo este deporte crea amistades, abre puertas y construye comunidades donde antes no existían conexiones.
Por eso, nuestra misión va más allá de contar historias sobre pickleball. Queremos destacar las voces, experiencias y tradiciones de jugadores de todo el mundo, celebrando la diversidad que hace especial a esta comunidad global.
El español ocupa un lugar importante en nuestra historia y en nuestra visión. A medida que el deporte continúa creciendo en América Latina y en comunidades hispanohablantes alrededor del mundo, nos comprometemos a compartir historias en ambos idiomas y a construir puentes entre jugadores, culturas y experiencias.
Porque el pickleball no tiene fronteras.
Una cancha. Un idioma universal. Una comunidad global.
