It’s a game that can be played at a leisurely pace or at a high level of competition, making it a versatile sport for all ages and skill levels. The game is played on a court similar to a doubles badminton court, with the net lowered to the ground like in tennis. The ball used is similar to a wiffle ball, and the paddles used are unique to pickleball, being larger than ping-pong paddles but smaller than tennis rackets.
