It looks like tennis, sounds like ping pong and favours the same light-on-your-toes action of badminton. But pickleball is a sport in its own right, and an explosion of popularity has made it a fast-growing sport in Canada.
In teams of two, players use small paddles to volley a ball, similar to a wiffleball, back and forth over the net.
It is a game that is appropriate for players of all ages and skill levels and the rules are simple, making it a great introductory sport. Pickleball can also be quite the challenging, fast-paced, and competitive game when people become more experienced at playing.
