What Is Pickleball?
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in North America and here’s why!

• Pickleball is ideal for all skill levels and ages
• Pickleball is a very social activity
• Playing pickleball is great exercise for your mind and body. Pickleball and racquet sports could extend your life!
• Can play indoors and outdoors 
• Inexpensive and requires minimal equipment and gear
• A lower impact sport
• Easy to learn, challenging to master

How to play:
Pickleball is played on a badminton size court with the net lowered to the ground, similar to tennis. In doubles, 4 people play on a court at once. The paddles (not racquet) look like an oversized ping pong paddle. Because of it’s strategic nature, it is a sport that young and old, and all genders can play together.
