First Time Playing? Here’s What to Expect
Pickleball is a fast-growing and highly engaging racquet sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong. Played on a compact court with a low net, this recreational activity has gained immense popularity among people of all ages and skill levels.
Players use solid paddles to hit a perforated ball, resembling a wiffle ball, over the net. The game’s simplicity and accessibility make it an excellent choice for beginners, yet its strategic depth and quick pace keep seasoned players continuously challenged. Pickleball fosters not only physical fitness but also social interaction, making it a wonderful way to stay active and connect with others in a fun and friendly environment.
“This is the first time that many in our group have played pickleball, and everyone loves it! It’s something we all certainly look forward to each week!”
- Makenzie and Luke, YWCA Midtown Members
