Pickleball is like if tennis, ping-pong, and badminton had a baby, and that baby just wanted everyone to have a good time. Here’s the gist: grab a paddle, a wiffle-like ball, and head to the court. You’ll serve the ball underhand (because we’re classy like that) across the net, aiming to land it in the opposite service box. After the serve, it’s game on! Players hit the ball back and forth, letting it bounce once on each side before they can start volleying. Oh, and watch out for the “kitchen,” the no-volley zone near the net! It’s less about cooking and more about keeping things fair. Rallies keep going until someone either misses, sends the ball flying out of bounds, or forgets the rules and smashes it like they’re in Wimbledon. First team to 11 points (and ahead by 2) wins. It’s easy to learn, ridiculously fun, and you might even forget you’re getting a workout!
