Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It is played on a court similar to a tennis court but smaller, with a net that is lower than a tennis net. Players use solid paddles to hit a lightweight plastic ball with holes. The game can be played in singles or doubles formats and is known for its accessibility, making it popular among players of all ages and skill levels. Pickleball emphasizes strategy, quick reflexes, and teamwork, providing a fun and engaging way to stay active.
