A Brief History of the Paddle Tap

The handshake has long been a symbol of sportsmanship across athletic disciplines. It's a gesture of respect between competitors, acknowledging the effort and camaraderie on the court. In pickleball, this tradition has playfully evolved into the paddle tap.

While the exact origin remains unknown, the paddle tap likely emerged organically as pickleball gained popularity. It's a natural extension of the handshake, using the very tool that brings players together: the paddle.

What Does the Paddle Tap Mean?

The paddle tap is a simple yet powerful gesture that embodies the core values of pickleball:

  • Respect: It acknowledges your opponent's skill and acknowledges them as a worthy competitor.

  • Sportsmanship: Win or lose, the paddle tap shows good sportsmanship and a positive attitude.

  • Community: It fosters a sense of camaraderie and connection between players.
