Please add pickleball to your activity options to count for daily activity on phone ap.  It is the fastest growing sport in the nation.  I play at least 2-3 x weekly; it's a great work out!

@sports20   There is a Feature Suggestion asking for pickleball as an exercise shortcut.  Sadly, Fitbit has it listed as Not Currently Planned.  You can still vote for it, but you can't leave a comment.

I think most pickleball players use the Tennis exercise shortcut.  It looks like a good catchall for all racket sports.

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the world plus it is now covered on CBS Sports and ESPN. I think it's time for FitBit to acknowledge pickleball.

@SunsetRunner   @sports20   IMHO, Fitbit should rename the Tennis shortcut to Raquet Sports.  It would solve  A LOT of problems.

If Fitbit was smart, they would corner the market on fitness tracking for pickleball.  Apple watch has already added it.

This is not quite true. For example I play doubles tennis and I get an avg bpm of 104, and calorie burn 450.

For pickleball its 310 cals, 78 avg bpm

That’s a good solution but still want pickle ball as a sport.  It is completely different than tennis.

Most racket sports are quite different in regards to how far, often, or fast you need to move. Tennis is more of a workout than pball, racketball or squash, I’m pretty sure are more of a workout than tennis. Not to mention that doubles is different than singles in racket sports. No ‘catch all’ exists. It was a nice thought though.
