What is pickleball?

If you haven’t tried it yet, pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports around—and for good reason. It’s a unique blend of tennis, table tennis and badminton, played on a smaller court using a paddle and a lightweight perforated ball.

It’s easy to learn, gentle on the body and surprisingly addictive.

Why you’ll love it

Benefits include:

  • Improving coordination and balance
  • Boosting overall fitness and mobility
