Pickleball is the hottest new sport in the country. Pickleball is a paddle sport that is a mix of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It is played on a badminton court for two people. It looks like a tennis net, but it is two inches shorter. The paddle is usually made of graphite or composite material and is hard, like a table tennis paddle.
Pickleball is fun for people of all ages and skill levels because it is easy to learn and has clear rules. It doesn’t cost much, is fun, and is good for you. It is played in a lot of places, like school gyms, fire stations, community centers, parks, athletic clubs, and the backyards of thousands of people.
Many of the best players have never played racquet or paddle sports and may not be very athletic. Pickleball is easy to learn, but hard to get really good at. Grab a paddle and give it a try!
