Your Guide to Courts, Clubs, and Community Fun – From Fort Lauderdale to Miami, West Palm Beach, and Beyond
If you’ve been to a local park, YMCA, or recreation center lately—whether in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, or Pompano Beach—you’ve probably noticed a game that looks like tennis but with smaller paddles and a plastic ball. That fast-paced game taking over South Florida? It’s pickleball, and it’s one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S.
At My Stack Box, we know community matters. Just like our portable storage solutions help homeowners and businesses stay organized during moves or renovations, pickleball brings communities together—on the court and beyond. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just curious, we’re spotlighting the best places to play pickleball in South Florida and how to get started.
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. Played on a court smaller than a tennis court, players use solid paddles to hit a perforated plastic ball over a net.
Quick Rules Recap:
-
Can be played as singles or doubles
-
First side to reach 11 points (with a two-point lead) wins
-
Serve diagonally, and only the serving side can score
-
Avoid faults like stepping into the non-volley zone (aka the kitchen) during volleys

The Rise of Pickleball in Florida
Though invented in 1965 in Washington State, pickleball’s real boom has happened in the last decade, especially in sunny states like Florida. Why? Because it’s fun, social, easy to learn, and suitable for all ages. Plus, South Florida’s year-round warm weather makes it ideal for outdoor play.
