-> Hi Ruben, Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. It is a
-> combination of ping pong, badminton and tennis, played on a court abo
-> the size of a badminton court. It is played with a paddle, and a ball
-> that is similar, but a little larger, than a whiffle ball over a net
-> that is 3 in shorter than a tennis net. The rules are simple...the
-> serving team must serve underhand, cross court to the receiving team.
-> The ball must bounce before the reciving team can hit it, and when
-> it is returned, the ball must bounce before the serving team can hit
-> it. After that, it can be volleyed in the air, as long as the the
-> player does not step into the non-volley zone, also known as "the
-> kitchen",which is marked on the court by a line 7 ft. from the net.
-> Only the serving team can score. The game ends when one team scores
-> 11 points, and must win by 2. You can check it out on You Tube.
-> There are many videos about pickleball, including some of the US
-> Open, that we attended. There's some exciting play included. But
-> watch out! Pickleball can be very addicting! :)

Yes, thanks for the explanation.  I did check out on you tube. Strange I have not heard of this game before.  I think I would have enjoyed it in younger days.  Don't move to well these days.

Take care and again thank you.
