What is Pickleball

Pickleball is a fast-growing paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. It is easy to learn and can be played both indoors and outdoors, as singles or doubles. In this game, two or four players use a smooth-faced paddle to hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball over a 34-inch-high net and the ball must bounce once on each side after the serve before players can volley. The court size is 20x44 feet, same as a badminton doubles court.
