Pickleball is a racket sport that blends elements of tennis, padel, and badminton. It’s played on a 13.41 × 6.10 m court. Its quick learning curve and social atmosphere explain its rapid growth in Spain.

Underhand serve, mandatory bounce after the serve, no-volley zone (“the kitchen”), and games played to 11 points, winning by 2. It’s a perfect sport for players of all ages.

Official measurements are 13.41 m × 6.10 m, with a 2 m safety zone around the court.

For beginners: polymer core and fiberglass face.
For intermediate/advanced players: graphite or carbon face.
Typical weight: 215–235 g.

Yes! It improves cardio, coordination, and strength without straining the joints, thanks to its lightweight paddle and cushioned playing surface.

Pickleballs are lighter, hollow, and perforated, which limits spin and keeps the flight path stable—even in wind. Tennis balls are heavier, covered in felt, and built for bounce and spin on a larger court.
