Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It's played on a court with a slightly modified tennis net, and the equipment consists of solid paddles and a perforated plastic ball.
Here are some key things to know about pickleball:
* How to play: Two players (singles) or four players (doubles) hit the ball back and forth over the net, trying to make it difficult for the opponent to return the shot.
* Scoring: Points are scored only by the serving side. A fault occurs when a player fails to legally return the ball.
* The kitchen: There's a non-volley zone called the "kitchen" on each side of the net. Players cannot volley the ball while standing in the kitchen.
* Serving: Serves are underhand and must land in the opponent's service court.
Pickleball is a fun and social sport that's easy to learn but can be challenging to master. It's a great way to get exercise and meet new people.
