Pickleball vs. Tennis
Pickleball is all the rage these days among new and casual athletes who want a fun way to get active and have a great time. Combining the best elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, pickleball is a sport that’s easy to play yet hard to master. That means it’s perfect for both newbies and veterans of all ages! This game is not just fun and easy to pick up, it’s can also be a great way to learn techniques and movements that translate into playing tennis. On the other hand, avid tennis players often find that they enjoy pickleball for a less intense gameplay experience that can be enjoyed by all skill levels.
How To Play Pickleball
Whether you’ve played tennis before or not, pickleball is quite easy for players of all skill levels to pick up and enjoy! The overall focus of the game is similar to other sports involving a net, and the goal is to score points by making the ball drop on your opponent’s side of the court. If you like to learn about the details of a game before picking it up, check out the full list of pickleball rules here.
