Fast becoming one of the most popular racket sports in the world, pickleball brings together some of the best elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis and is a fun, exciting game for people of all ages and abilities. It is played on a court the same size as a badminton court, using a shorter tennis-style net. Players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another across a net.
