Pickleball

Pickleball: The Fastest Growing Sport in the US

What is pickleball? Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is played on a badminton-size court with a slightly modified tennis net. The paddles are smaller than tennis rackets and have a plastic or composite face. The ball is similar to a wiffle ball and it has holes in it to make it travel more slowly.
