ABOUT THE SPORT
Pickleball is played on a court very similar to badminton.
Pickleball uses elements of racket skills from tennis, squash, badminton, and table tennis. However this game is unique - for one reason, no other sport has a 'kitchen' in the middle of the court!
The rules and scoring system also mean that pickleball is much more accessible by the young and not-so-young, making this a fantastic family activity for everyone to enjoy.
