Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated hallow polymer ball over a net. The sport was invented in 1965 in the United States and has had a meteoric rise with growth of 223.5% over the last 3 years globally. In Australia we have tournaments in all States and Territories, and over 20,000+ players!
