What is Pickleball?
​
Pickleball is a fun and rapidly growing paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Played on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net, pickleball uses solid-faced paddles and a perforated plastic ball.
​
Here's what makes pickleball so appealing:
-
Easy to Learn: The basic rules are simple, making it accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
-
Socially Fun: Often played in doubles, pickleball encourages teamwork and friendly competition.
-
Great Workout: It offers a fun way to get exercise, improve hand-eye coordination, and burn calories.
-
Less Impactful: The smaller court size and underhand serve make it easier on the joints compared to tennis.
​
Is Pickleball Right for You?
Absolutely! Whether you're a seasoned athlete or haven't picked up a paddle in years, pickleball is a fantastic way to get active, have fun, and connect with your community.
