The game now known as "Pickleball" is a fast paced game that involves hand-eye coordination skills that are used in many racket sports such as tennis, ping pong, paddleball, and racquetball. One of the most amazing characteristics of pickleball is that it can be played by anyone at any age at any level, making it an ideal family activity. During the past five decades, pickleball has flourished and has become one of America's favorite participatory sports.
