What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a fun, easy-to-learn sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. The game is played with a paddle and a wiffle ball on a court that is similar to a badminton court.
Players use the paddle to hit the ball back and forth across the net, similar to tennis. The rules are easy to learn, and with a little practice you'll be playing pickleball in no time.
