The Pickleball Hall of Fame (PHOF) was established to provide worldwide recognition to individuals who have made significant contributions to, or achievements in, the sport of pickleball. Individuals may be recognized as competitors, contributors or both. This includes competitors who have achieved exceptional results in their pickleball careers and other individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the growth, development and leadership of the game.
For competitors to be considered they must have dominated competition for at least a five-year period while playing at the highest level. Contributors are those who, over a 5-year period, have made significant national or international contributions to the sport. The organization currently strives to induct about 4 new members each year.
