I would like pickleball to be on the tracking activities list...any one else agree?

A warm welcome to the Forums @Renurb. Actually, there's already a request about this. I recommend checking the Pickleball - Add to Activities request, vote for it and leave your comment. 

Keep the stepping up!

Hi..are you a pickleball player?  I would like to see fitbit add pickleball to their activity list for tracking.

@Renurb Remember that you can also manually log this activity (following @Mcore's suggestions here) and you can use any online calorie calculator to know the amount of calories burned through this activity.

Let me know how it goes!

Pickleball is one of the most popular sports in America. It needs to be on the list!!!

Pickleball is getting popular every day. I wish the admin gave a little time to add this beautiful sport in activities.

Not every one plays Pickleball. It would be near impossible to list all the exercises people do.

Use work out mode on your device. Set up a custom activity and then when it syncs rename it

@kennethpotts A warm welcome to our Community! Thank you for your suggestion. You can share it in our Feature suggestions board so other members can vote for it. Still @WendyB has a good point in which it would be impossible to list all of the existing sports and you can use the workout mode on your device.

Let me know how it goes!

It is fairly inane to me that I am not enabled to create my own activity, even if it is as simple as copying an existing "template" like Tennis and naming it to anything I want like "Pickleball". Further, if the application systems are this ridged I would suggest that applicable design decisions were woefully short sighted. It didn't have to be this way, IMHO.

Otherwise, doing manual log posting for non-pre-defined activities (or alternative calorie data acquisition) is not an acceptable suggestion to me and would only serve to provide an annoyance for using the watch instead of being an enjoyable experience.

I also want the same and was looking for a solution. Pickleball certainly a very popular sport now which is growing tremendously. Thank you, OP for highlighting this up.

This is a bigger issue than there being a static PB pick in activities. The system must be flexible enough for user defined activities of any stripe. It was said no one can anticipate all the things that people will do. Agreed, even more reason we should be able to define them ourselves.

@Dave_Demase  If you go to the Activities page on the web and scroll down to the bottom there is a create New activity

Use this to create what ever you want. When doing the exercise use workout mode. When it sync rename it the the ones you created

It would be near impossible to add all the activities people do so this is why Workout mode was created
