A miniature version of baseball is played using a plastic bat and a lightweight ball. The game can be played by 2-10 players on the street, beach or backyard. The goal of the game is to score as many runs as possible and to do this, the batter must hit the ball far enough into the air for the ball to land in one of the three areas: Single, Double or Triple.
In 1965, two bored dads were looking for something fun to do on a hot summer's day. The two dads wanted to play with each other and chose to use a wiffleball and spare ping pong pails.
Not long after, they changed the rules to suit their own needs. Even though the game is called pickleball today, its original rules are still very similar.
These balls are much more durable than traditional wiffleballs, and can stand up to repeated use. The balls are also lighter so kids can swing and grip them with ease without having to worry about damaging the bat.
If you break these balls, they will be replaced at no cost to you!
If you plan to travel to a foreign country and you cannot find a local pickleball club, ask on Facebook or Instagram whether they know any players. There are many players who are welcoming and friendly around the globe that would love to teach you how to play pickleball.
You'll need a pickleball court when you start playing. You can find these at a sporting goods store or even at the local community center. A pickleball court can be found in a city hall or park during normal operating hours.
The net is typically set about 36 inches off the ground. However, it can be lowered for children who are smaller. The net should also be placed at least 40 to 42 feet away from the pitcher’s mound.
This game is fast-paced and requires a lot of quick thinking and reactions. It is a fantastic way for children to improve their hand-eye cooperation and self-confidence.
Even though there's no official national tournament or league in the United States there are still a few tournaments each summer. There are a number of tournaments in the United States that take place each summer. These include the National Fast Pitch Tournament, which takes place in Morenci (Michigan) and the United Wiffle National Championship, held at PeoplesBank park in York (Pennsylvania).
You can also find leagues in your area. The most popular leagues include YMCAs, YWCAs, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts as well as the American Legion.
The rules of the game are very similar to those of baseball, with each player being assigned a specific zone to play in based on their ability. The batter is required to throw the ball as high as he can, and the fielder needs to track all the balls that are coming to the field to ensure none of them miss their designated spot.
