What is Pickleball?

​​​

Pickleball combines the best elements of tennis, ping pong and badminton.

 

Equipment

We play on a badminton court with a 3ft high net. Large polymer paddles with a graphite face are used to hit a hollow plastic ball.

​

Skills

We always play the game as doubles. Pickleball is action-packed and exciting, yet easy for beginners to pickup and start a rally (like table tennis). It on average only takes a few weeks to become a competent player and play matches - not years like other racket sports.

​

Physicality

Pickleball is NOT highly physically demanding (mostly bending and twisting) and is suitable for players who may have stopped other sports or running due to injuries like knee problems. You will get a good workout from your sessions though!

 

Suitable for all

Due to the slower speeds of the ball, players can feel comfortable playing with others who might have harder shots. As running is not a big factor, players of all ages can have a well matched game.
