Pickleball is a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It’s played indoors or outside on a court that’s one-quarter the size of a tennis court. Players use paddles that are larger than ping-pong paddles and they hit plastic balls with holes in them. The net is similar to a tennis net, but a little shorter. Most people play doubles, meaning that four people play at once, two on each side of the net. The game is very social and people of all skill levels can try pickleball.
