What is pickleball?
It's a bit like tennis, badminton and table tennis rolled into one, played on a small court with a paddle and a light plastic ball. Most games are doubles, so there's plenty of time for a chat between points.
- It's quick to pick up, and most people are having proper rallies by the end of their first night.
- It's sociable, because we swap partners between games and you'll end up playing with just about everyone.
- It suits any age, as there's far less running about than in tennis and you can play at whatever pace feels right.
