What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a hybrid of tennis, badminton and table tennis, pickleball is a fun, exciting game for people of all ages and abilities. It is played on the same size as a badminton court, using a shorter tennis-style net.
Games are in singles or doubles and players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another, usually playing up to 11 points. Learn more about the sport on Pickleball England website.
