What is Pickleball

Pickleball is a unique racquet sport that combines tennis, badminton, and ping-pong elements. It was created in the mid-1960s by three friends, Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum, in Bainbridge Island, Washington, USA. The story goes that they invented the game to provide entertainment for their families, and it quickly grew into a full-fledged sport. In the USA, Major League Pickleball has attracted investments from athletes such as Tom Brady and LeBron James following the growth the Sport has experienced.

The game is played on a rectangular court that resembles a small tennis court, with a net in the middle. Pickleball is usually played in doubles but can also be played in singles. The objective is to score points by serving the ball over the net and into the opponent’s court in a way that they cannot return it successfully.

Pickleball is fun, social, and friendly, making it the ideal Sport for families, friends, and colleagues to play together. Pickleball can improve your cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength and movement and the fast-paced nature of the game provides a great workout whilst also being fun and social, promoting a healthier lifestyle.
