Kelly Monroe Kullberg is the founder of The Veritas Forum and an award-winning Christian author of the books Finding God at Harvard: Spiritual Journeys of Thinking Christians (a Christian Booksellers Association Book of the Year) and Finding God Beyond Harvard: The Quest for Veritas (a Christian Booksellers Association Book of the Year nominee for best writing). Outside of her career, Kelly Kullberg enjoys a variety of sports, including squash, tennis, golf, and pickleball.
Pickleball is a paddle sport with similarities to tennis and badminton. Invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island near Seattle, Washington, the sport is played on a badminton-sized court with a net similar to a tennis net. A pickleball is similar to a whiffle ball but is more durable.
The game is named after the family dog (“Pickles”) of one of the inventors of the sport. Pickles chased the balls hit off the playing field, which made them “Pickle’s balls.” The paddles are similar to ping pong paddles and are made of wood or fiberglass. Part of the appeal of Pickleball is that it is an easily accessible and inclusive game playable by people of all social and economic backgrounds.
