Pickleball: A Global Sports Revolution

Pickleball is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, renowned for its accessibility and energetic pace. Played with paddles and a perforated wiffleball on a badminton-sized court and a tennis-style net, the game scores points when an opponent fails to return a serve or rally.

Its simplicity and inclusiveness have attracted players of all age groups, making it a movement that merges fitness, fun, and community worldwide.
