Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the US, and for good reason! This paddle sport combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis, making it fun and accessible for people of all ages and athletic abilities. Whether you’re looking for a casual game with friends or a more competitive challenge, pickleball offers a great way to get exercise and socialize.
The game is played on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net. Players use solid-faced paddles to hit a perforated plastic ball over the net. Pickleball incorporates a unique rule called the “non-volley zone,” which is an area near the net where players cannot volley the ball (hit it in the air before it bounces). This rule slows down the game at the net, making it easier for beginners to learn and for people of all abilities to enjoy.
So, if you’re looking for a new activity to try, give pickleball a go! It’s easy to learn, social, and a great workout. You might just be surprised by how much fun it is!
