Pickleball, a fast-growing sport, gaining popularity worldwide, and you can experience it right here at our club in Exmouth. But what is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a unique paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It's played on a smaller court with a lower net, making it accessible for players of all ages and skill levels. The game is typically played in doubles, although singles play is also common.
The Format and Scoring
In Pickleball, each player or team uses a solid paddle to hit a perforated plastic ball over the net. The court dimensions are similar to a doubles badminton court, and the net is set lower than in tennis. The game begins with an underhand serve diagonally cross-court. The serving team must score points to win, and games are usually played to 11 points, with a winning margin of at least 2 points.
Fitness Benefits
One of the best aspects of Pickleball is its fitness benefits. Despite its friendly and social nature, Pickleball provides an excellent workout. The game involves quick movements, agility, and coordination. Players engage in both aerobic and anaerobic activity, which can help improve cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and endurance. Because of its lower impact compared to some other sports, it's easier on the joints while still providing a great workout.
