A Sport for Everyone
WHO
The rules of the game are simple and therefore it’s easy to learn whether you’re eight or eighty or somewhere in between. It’s played by millions of people of all ages and skill levels and all around the globe.
WHAT
Pickleball is best described as a combination of badminton, ping-pong, and tennis. Players use a paddle that is reminiscent of ping-pong paddles, but is bigger and usually made of more advanced materials. The ball used is a plastic ball with holes covering the surface. It can be played with singles or doubles, just like tennis.
WHERE
According to USA Pickleball, the number of places to play pickleball has more than doubled since 2010. There are now nearly 8,000 locations on the USA Pickleball’s Places to Play map. The sport is played on badminton-size courts, typically with “doubles” (two people on each side of the net). The first team to get to 11 points with a two-point lead, wins.
