Pickleball is a paddle sport featuring a combination of rules similar to tennis, badminton and ping-pong.
It’s played both indoors and outdoors on a badminton-sized court with a modified tennis net, with wood or composite paddles and a tennis-ball-sized plastic ball with holes in it, somewhat like a Wiffle ball. The game can be played as singles or doubles, making it popular with couples.
The game is intended for all skill levels and lessons are available at many local facilities.
