PICKLEBALL Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a whiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. Available at the Sportsplex, Monday-Friday from 9:00a-2:00p, (excluding school holidays) with Monday, Wednesday and Friday geared toward beginner play, and Tuesday and Thursday for the Intermediate/Advanced players.
