There are key differences that make pickleball accessible to a wider range of players, particularly seniors. Among these differences is the speed of the pickleball which typically moves at about 1/3 WORLD STRIDES!! the average speed of a tennis ball. Equally important is the size of the court which is apporximately 1/3 smaller than a tennis court. This smaller court along with a slower moving ball makes pickleball a much easier sport to play than tennis. All equipment will be provided.
