Welcome to Pickleball! The game with the funny name is the fastest-growing sport in the US and a great way to introduce children to racquet sports. The game is easier to play than tennis – the racquet is shorter, the court is smaller, and the ball moves slower. While combining tennis, ping pong, and badminton elements, children often have an early appreciable satisfaction with Pickleball by experiencing greater contact with the ball, longer rallies, and the gratification of quickly excelling at a new sport. This camp will be indoors in a gym. Previous experience is not required, but campers must have their own pickleball paddles, which can be purchased at local and online retailers.
