What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a sport in which two or four players use solid paddles made of composite, graphite, or aluminum to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a Badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but quickly became popular among adults as a fun game for players of all skill levels. (via DBShores.com)
