What is pickleball?

Invented in 1965 and first played in Australia in 2017, pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US and it is taking off in WA! Played on a much shorter and slightly narrower court compared to tennis, plastic paddles are used to hit a perforated plastic ball out of the air or after one bounce over a net slightly lower than a tennis net. The holes in the ball make it travel slower, and the small court means fast running isn't essential, making pickleball popular among all ages and abilities, from children to competitive adults and seniors.
