Pickleball is a paddle sport you can learn in minutes and play for a lifetime. It brings together elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong to create a sport that’s fun for all ages and skill levels, but gets fast paced and exhilarating at competitive levels. It’s lower impact than tennis and easier on the body. It focuses on quick reflexes rather than powerful serves or running speed. These differences open pickleball up to a greater range of players. Whether you are competitive or just want to get involved in something fun, social and active, pickleball is for you!
