Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles to hit a hollow plastic ball with holes in it (also known as a wiffle ball) over a net. It's played on a badminton doubles-sized court with the net slightly lower than a tennis net.

Pickleball is great for those who may be finding the tennis court a bit too big or the badminton shuttle a little too high, for people recovering from injuries, and as a family game for players of different ages, heights and abilities.
