PICKLEBALL
Pickleball is a fast-growing paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It’s played on a small court with a low net, using a plastic ball with holes and solid paddles. The game can be played in singles or doubles, and the goal is to hit the ball over the net and into the opponent’s court without letting it bounce twice. Players serve underhand and must let the ball bounce once on each side before volleying. It’s easy to learn, fun for all ages, and offers a mix of quick reflexes, strategy, and friendly competition.
