【Why is Pickleball Taking the Internet by Storm?】#LightSports #PickleballCraze
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a hybrid of tennis + badminton + table tennis. Born in Seattle, USA, in 1965, three dads invented it to entertain their kids using ping pong paddles and a plastic ball on a badminton court. It was later named after their dog, Pickles, who loved chasing the ball!

4.For Everyone: Kids, seniors, office workers, and retirees can all enjoy it. Even Bill Gates has been a fan for 50 years!
