Do you already know it? The new hype: Pickleball: a mix of tennis, ping pong and badminton and currently the fastest growing sport in America. And with us, more and more sports enthusiasts are starting to ‘pickle’.
Pickleball is usually played in doubles: two against two, as in padel.
The game is played to two won sets up to 11. You can only score if your team has the service.
You hit a hole ball, also known as a “wiffle ball”, with your paddle (a large table tennis bat that has fallen out).
The terrain resembles a badminton court, but with a lower net.
It is an outdoor sport, which you can also perfectly practice indoors.
A racket sport for young and old in which television channels and investment funds see ‘big money’. One of those funds has now, along with seven-time Superbowl winner Tom Brady and Kim Clijsters, bought a team that will compete in the official US pickleball competition.
