Pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.

The Basics
1. A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.

2. Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net.

3. Played with a paddle and a plastic ball.

A Game for Everyone

The USAPA currently estimates there are now over 400,000 players actively playing pickleball.

· Many kids and teenagers play it in physical education classes in middle and high schools.

· Seniors enjoy the social aspects and the ability to stay active in towns and retirement communities.

· Tennis, racquetball and ping pong players love the competitive nature of the sport and regularly participate in competitive tournaments.
