Pickleball

Pickleball is one the fastest growing sports in the US. Pickleball is a net court using light-weight paddles and a plastic, perforated ball (similar to a wiffle-ball). You can find an excellent introduction to the game at the official USA Pickleball Association web site.

Pickleball is the great equalizer.  It's the perfect game for men, women, youth and active adults. It is a game of strategy and ball placement. It places the emphasis on coordination, patience, and strategy rather than strength or brute power.  It's easy to learn and a lot of fun to play.

The game continues to gain great momentum throughout the US.  It has exploded on the scene in the past few years and now is being played from coast to coast in educational institutions, parks and recreation centers, and corporate fitness centers. Because of Pickleball's increased popularity, Good Morning America recently aired a segment about the sport.
