Please add pickleball to list of exercises in fitbit zip; it's just as popular as badminton, if not more, and I have to select badminton to get my pickleball in and I play 2 hours a day, 5 days a week!

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport and many seniors are playing. You have tennis but pickleball is faster movements but not as much running

Fastest growing sport in the world, being considered for the olympics. Apple Watch has already added it. It would also be good if you differentiated between singles and doubles (and this is true for all racket sports).

Fitbit needs to add pickleball to the exercise tracker icon. It is the fastest growing sport in American. And possibly the world. There is talk of adding it to the Olympics. It is growling like crazy. There are tournaments for all ages. It is unique in intensity. Really hoping a company like Fitbit can get on board!

Need Pickleball added as a "Categorize Exercise" choice on the FitBit App for the Charge 4.  Having "Badminton" as a choice and not "Pickleball" is utterly ridiculous.  It's also crazy that this was asked for in 2016 and is still not available.  Please help, thanks!
