WHAT IS PICKLEBALL? Pickleball is a bat and ball game and is a low-impact sport that is easy to learn and play at almost any age, this sport for life is regularly described as the fastest growing sport worldwide.
Pickleball, often described as a combination of tennis, Ping-Pong and badminton and is played on the same size as a doubles badminton court. The net height of a pickleball court is 36 inches high at the sidelines and 34 inches high in the middle. Pickleball can be played in singles or doubles format. Players use a small graphite or fiberglass paddle to hit a 'wiffle ball' a plastic ball with holes all around allowing the ball to move through the air much cleaner than a tennis ball. Pickleball gives you a good aerobic workout without as much stress and strain on joints and muscles. |
