To answer the question, “Why is pickleball so popular?”, I think it’s because it’s an easy-to-learn paddle sport appropriate for players of all ages and skill levels.  Pickel ball is easy on the joints and combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. The only equipment needed is a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. Though a great sport for beginners, experienced players compete against each other in fast-paced, challenging, and competitive games. In addition, the game has a multi-generational appeal as it attracts players from all age groups. As the sport receives great coverage and exposure from the media, awareness, and interest continue to rise.
