A Hit Called Pickleball
一拍上癮!適合全家大小的匹克球運動
When people first see pickleball, they often think it looks like a mix of several sports. In fact, it combines features of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Players use solid paddles to hit a light plastic ball with small holes over a low net. The game can be played indoors or outdoors in singles or doubles. Pickleball was invented during the summer of 1965 in Washington State, the US.
