PICKLEBALL FOR BEGINNERS: The Joy of Pickleball: Learning and Playing for Fun, Fitness, and Friendship

The racquet sport of pickleball is a hybrid game that borrows rules and strategies from tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It is played on a court that is roughly the same size as a court used for badminton, although the net is a little bit shorter than the net used for tennis. A paddle and something called a wiffle ball, which is a lightweight plastic ball with holes, are required to play the game.

The objective of the game is to hit the ball over the net and place it in the opposing player's court while preventing them from returning it to your court. The players either compete against one another in a singles match or in a doubles match, taking turns serving and receiving the ball. The game is won by the first team to reach 11 points while maintaining a lead of at least two points.

Pickleball is a fun activity that can be played by persons of varying ages and levels of expertise. It is simple to pick up the fundamentals, and while it does provide a solid workout, it is not overly taxing on the body. Because it can be played either indoors or outdoors, it is an excellent choice for use throughout the entire year as a form of recreation.

Joel Pritchard and Bill Bell, are good friends that came up with the idea for the sport of pickleball in 1965. The two friends came up with pickleball while trying to think of a summertime game that would amuse their families.

The first version of the game was played on a badminton court with a net that had been reduced to a height of 36 inches, and the ball that was utilized was a plastic ball that had been perforated.
