About Pickleball

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States, combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong on a smaller court. A 155-pound person burns approximately 258.5 calories in 30 minutes, making it a surprisingly effective cardiovascular workout despite its accessible learning curve. The sport involves frequent lateral movement, quick reflexes, and sustained moderate-intensity effort.

Pickleball is particularly popular among older adults due to its lower impact compared to tennis, but it is enjoyed across all age groups. Regular play improves cardiovascular fitness, agility, and hand-eye coordination.
