Pickleball

Pickleball is very popular and the fastest growing sport in the US, and has now come to Kumeu, in Northwest Auckland.

A fun combination of tennis and table tennis, played with light weight paddles and a plastic 'wiffle' ball, on a badminton court with a lowered net.

Easy-to-learn and easy-to-play, yet still fast and competitive for all ages. Very addictive - a great family game too.
