Welcome to Pickleball Primer

This blog exists to help our Dear Friends enjoy a very brief introduction to Pickleball.  This blog is not intended to be an complete discussion of the sport.  There are many online pickleball resources available which present a far more thorough description of the fast-growing sport.

Pickleball was born an 1965 as an informal mashup of ping pong, badminton, and tennis.  The burgeoning growth of pickleball is due in large part to its popularity with The Golden Age People, as you can see from the graphic.

The small badminton court size, short game length, low net, "no volley zone" and user-friendly rules have made pickleball a mainstay in retirement communities nationwide.

In this blog we will help our Dear Friends gain a rudimentary understanding of the game, the equipment, the court and, of course, the rules.  One offsite link is provided.  Readers are encouraged to begin their own personal research into pickleball.  We are just helping you get started.  Thanks for reading.  GAME ON!
