Yes, PICKLEBALL – the fun game with the funny name! Created in the backyard of Washington
Congressman Joel Pritchard in 1965, it is a combination of badminton, tennis and table tennis, and
is enjoyed by people of all ages. Using a badminton-sized court, tennis-height net, table tennis-type
paddle, and a baseball-sized wiffle ball, usually played by doubles, this game has few rules and is far
less strenuous than tennis. It is easy to learn and provides plenty of exercise and eye-hand coordination;
a game of strategy for both men and women, you don’t have to be tall and powerful. Want to watch
