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.
