Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton and table tennis. The sport is played on a court with a hard paddle and a whiffle ball. Although pickleball appears to be very similar to tennis, there are key differences that make pickleball more accessible to a wider range of players, particularly seniors.
