What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a great sport that anyone can play.  The game is similar to tennis where players hit a ball back and forth over a net. However, pickle ball uses a special paddle rather than a racket. The paddles come in many shapes, styles, and weights, and are larger than ping pong paddles.  Pickle ball is played on a court similar to that used in the sport of badminton. Pickle ball can be played both indoors and outdoors. You will find pickleball being played in many schools and fitness centers around the country.  

A large number of seniors play pickleball along with players of all ages.  Pickleball is fun for the whole family and it is a great work out for any athlete.

Getting started:

You can get started playing pickle ball by calling your favorite local fitness center and asking if they offer pickleball.  Also you can find great information about the game by visiting www.usapa.org the official site for the USA Pickleball Association.
