by Ball Too Well Podcast
What happens when two besties meet on Bumble BFF, pick up a paddle, and realize Taylor Swift lyrics double as game strategy? You get Ball Too Well — the podcast where pickleball, friendship, and Taylor Swift collide. Chelsea & Leah bring you tournament recaps, rec play chaos, and Swiftie-coded hot takes, all wrapped up in the kind of bestie banter that feels like your weekly pre-game warmup.

Minisode 2: Ashley's Birthday!
She’s blunt. She’s hilarious. She’s probably rolling her eyes at this description. This minisode is a love letter (with a little friendly roasting) to our coach, Ashley, who’s been the rock of our pickleball journey — and maybe the reason we’re still barely hanging on in rec play.
