Intro to Pickleball

Ever heard that pop sound and wondered what the fun was all about?

You’ve seen it at the park. The small court, the funny-named paddle, the quick volleys mixed with laughter. Pickleball isn't just a trend—it's the fastest-growing sport for a reason. It's easy to learn, wildly social, and surprisingly addictive.

We're about to break it all down. In just a few minutes, you'll know the essential rules, the basic swing, and the one secret that keeps everyone coming back.

Get ready to stop watching from the sidelines. Your first game starts here.
