    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.
