It's a hybrid of tennis, badminton, ping-pong, and squash. As of 2021, it is the fastest-growing sport in the world, especially North America. It is spreading internationally and attracting new players in droves. Pickleballers come in all ages, shapes and sizes now. Municipalities in Canada have caught on, and new designated courts are popping up monthly.

Pickleball attracts people of all ages because the game is easy to learn, the racket is very light and easy to swing, the ball is light and soft with holes.

The sport can be played in a slow pace nature where people do friendly rallies, or it can be played at a fast pace where attacks and defensive shots are required. Overall, a big part of the game trains you to be patient with your shots and requires you to plan your moves just like chess, especially when you play doubles with a partner.
