Pickleball

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. It's played on a compact court, about a third the size of a tennis court, with a solid paddle and a lightweight perforated plastic ball. The game can be played as singles or doubles, indoors or outdoors, and suits all ages and abilities.

What makes pickleball unique is its simplicity. The rules are easy to learn, the underhand serve removes power as a barrier to entry, and the 'kitchen' (the non-volley zone) keeps rallies long and strategic. Most beginners are playing competitive points within their first session. That accessibility, combined with genuinely engaging gameplay, is why pickleball is now the fastest-growing sport in the world.
