Pickleball: An Exciting, Fast Growing Sport 

Pickleball is a unique fusion of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.

It is played with a wooden or composite racket and a plastic ball with holes.

The court is smaller than a tennis court, so pickleball requires less running.

Pickleball is frequently played as doubles, making a great social activity requiring teamwork.

The sport is most popular with adults who are 50+, who want to stay active and have fun.

It is rapidly gaining popularity in other age groups, especially with kids.

The simple rules and minimal required equipment make it perfect for school PE programs.

Pickleball has had explosive growth over the past few years, growing up to 85%.

With simple rules, low-impact play and its easy adaptability it is a sport everyone should try.
