What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Singles or doubles players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, much like a whiffle ball, over a net. The court is the same size as a badminton court with a net a little lower than a tennis net. Rules of play are similar to tennis but with several unique differences like serves are not tossed but hit with an underhand motion and there is a No Volley Zone seven feet around the net.
It is an easy sport to learn, fun for all ages and exciting to play the first time you pick up a paddle.
