Teen Pickleball Stars Launch High School League

High school twins Boone and Ford Casady are revolutionizing pickleball, launching the first high school league in California. The L.A. High School Pickleball League, featuring teams from schools like Crossroads, Brentwood, and Palisades, kicks off on January twenty-fourth. The league, modeled after high school tennis, includes friendly games for all skill levels and wraps up with semifinals and a championship in March. The Casady brothers, along with Samantha Leeds and Hannah Carey, built the league themselves, coordinating with sports officials, getting pickleball approved as a varsity sport, and sharing starter kits to help other schools launch teams. The league aims for official recognition and a shift to the winter sports season by 2026, as pickleball gains popularity nationwide. Checkout Solipillow.com
