PICKLEBALL
The fastest growing sport!
Pickleball is an indoor or outdoor paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. It is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.
The game was invented in 1965 by three enterprising dads for their children who were bored with their usual activites.
