What is Pickleball?
Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, offering a fun, fast-paced experience. The game is played on a smaller court (about the size of a badminton court) with a net slightly lower than a tennis net. Using solid paddles, players hit a perforated plastic ball over the net, and the game can be played in singles or doubles.
Key features:
- Court: 20 feet by 44 feet, with a 36-inch high net at the sides.
- Paddle: Larger than a table tennis paddle, typically made of composite materials.
- Ball: A lightweight plastic ball with holes, similar to a wiffle ball.
- Scoring: Points are only scored by the serving team, typically played to 11 points.
With a mix of fun and challenge, pickleball is ideal for all ages and skill levels. The game combines dinks, volleys, and precise ball placement, making it both casual and competitive.
Thanks to its growing popularity worldwide, pickleball is an enjoyable way to get active, connect with others, and sharpen your skills.
