Pickleball continues to grow in popularity and access.
Act like a true local and hit the Pickleball courts in St. George. The fast-paced game is a cross of whiffle ball and badminton and great for the old and young.
Watch a demonstration of the game on the USA Pickleball Association’s website, pick up some equipment and get outside.
The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court. The net is similar to a tennis net, but is mounted two inches lower. The game is played with a hard paddle and a polymer smaller version of a wiffle ball.
Pickleball is similar to tennis, but with differences. A pickleball ball typically moves at one-third of the average speed of a tennis ball and the court is just under one-third of the total area of a tennis court.
