Pickleball is an exciting sport that is a combination of Ping-Pong, tennis, and badminton. It has been enjoyed for over 20 years by people of all ages, especially adults. This mini-tennis game is played on a badminton-size court using a wooden paddle and a plastic whiffle-type ball. Even though Pickleball may be new to you, Bob Eney, the Pickleball Ambassador for Carroll County in Maryland, tells us that Pickleball has been around since 1965 and is played around the world.
“It is a great game for people of all ages including seniors,” he says. “It’s a fun way to get some great aerobic exercise and socialize at the same time!”
