A paddle, a ball, and a good group of friends. Pickleball combines elements of familiar racket sports into a game worth trying.
What’s the game?
Players use a solid paddle to hit a lightweight, perforated plastic ball over a net. You can play singles or doubles, making it a flexible choice for a friendly game.
A good reason to get together
Start with the rules and a few simple shots. As you become comfortable, work on control, positioning, and communicating with your partner.
Pickleball isn’t padel
The names sound similar, but the sports are different. Pickleball uses a perforated ball on an open court. Padel uses a different ball and racket, with enclosing walls that are part of play.
