What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America.  It combines the essential elements of tennis, badminton, table tennis, and paddleball.  The sport was originally created for kids to play with their parents.  The rules of pickleball create a certain level of equality among all players and minimize things like height advantage.  Graphite paddles (about half the length of a tennis racket) and a hard plastic ball with holes in it are all the equipment needed to play.  You can fit four pickleball courts on one tennis court.  The sport is both physical and social for players of all ages.
