Pickleball uses hard paddles, modified whiffle balls and the lower mini tennis nets, and is a lot of fun to play for people of all ages. Played on a badminton-sized court, Pickleball combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.
Pickleball has become the fastest growing sport in the U.S. according to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), with the growth of the sport surging by nearly 40 percent between 2019 and 2021. The organization estimates that 4.8 million Americans now play the sport. |
