What is pickleball?
Pickleball is a doubles game on a compact court without walls
The usual format is two doubles teams. The court is smaller than a tennis court, the paddle is solid, and the ball is perforated plastic. Unlike padel, walls are not part of play. Reaction speed, accuracy, teamwork and net play matter here.
