How Is It Played?

Pickleball is played on a court that is similar in dimensions to a badminton court, which is significantly smaller than a tennis court, making the game accessible and fast-paced. Players use solid paddles, which are larger than table tennis paddles but smaller than tennis racquets, made from wood or composite materials to hit a perforated plastic ball over a net. The sport can be played in singles or doubles format, making it a versatile and social game suitable for all skill levels.
