What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a fun, fast-paced paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It’s played on a smaller court with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. Suitable for all ages and skill levels, pickleball is loved for its simplicity, social vibe, and low impact on the joints.
How Do You Play Pickleball?
Pickleball can be played as singles or doubles. Players use paddles to hit the ball over a net (similar to tennis), aiming to win points by landing shots in the opposing team's court. Games are typically played to 11 points and must be won by 2.
All you need is a paddle, a pickleball ball, and a net system—like the ones in this collection—to get started. Our 4-player kit with court lines includes everything you need to set up and play in under 10 minutes.
Why Is It Called "Pickleball"?
Surprisingly, pickleball has nothing to do with actual pickles! The name comes from the founders’ family dog, Pickles, who loved to chase the ball during games. The sport was created in the U.S. in the 1960s as a backyard pastime—and it’s now a global sensation.
