Pickleball on Badminton Courts

[sledpull]

Pickleball, the game that has taken active adults by storm in Canada and the US is a cross between tennis, table tennis and played on a court the size of a badminton court with paddles and a plastic wiffle ball. The paddle is the size of an overgrown table tennis paddle that can be made of graphite, alloy, composite or even wood.  The game can be played indoors or outdoors.  The ball is made of plastic and perforated to allow air flow.

The game  is converting many older tennis players because it is much easier on the joints and most games are doubles.  It is now being played in the Masters games in the US.

The game can be seen played on Youtube.

 

I am hoping that we can entice many of the active expats wanting to play at the indoor badminton courts (lowered nets) in Hua Hin.
