“Pickleball” is a hilarious spoof of the fastest growing sport in the country and the passion, fervor, and obsession of the people who play it, sometimes leading to death!

Written by Jeff Daniels, “Pickleball” shows us all the possibilities of middle-aged athleticism and the human spirit. In America’s fastest growing game, there are no apologies, there are no excuses, and there is no room for weakness. When four below-average players have an opportunity to compete in a local tournament, they must learn to overcome their limitations and find greatness in a game that has nothing to do with pickles.
