The Southlake Pickleball Complex is almost to its one-year anniversary, and there’s no better time to become a member and get in on the action. We know learning a brand-new sport can be intimidating, especially one with so many followers and seemingly funny terms. Luckily for you, our Southlake Pickleball team is here to help you get started.
Here’s a helpful list of the funniest Pickleball terms you should know before hitting the courts in 2025:
- Banger: A player that hits the ball hard toward their opponent
- Body Bag: A shot that hits your opponent’s body
- Dink: Softly hitting the ball into the opponent’s kitchen from near your team’s kitchen
- Kitchen: The non-volley zone that is enclosed by a rectangle closest to the net.
- Getting Pickled: losing the game with zero points
- Golden Pickle: winning 11-0
- Pickler: A person who plays pickleball and thoroughly enjoys it
While these terms may seem silly, learning the slang is a great way to get your foot in the door!
