Pickleball is a racket sport that has silently been taking over the country. The sport is similar in many ways to tennis, but thanks to its smaller court sizes and cheaper equipment, it is much more accessible than tennis is, while also being simultaneously more space-efficient. It's no wonder why cities and people across the country are embracing the new sport!

The sport has drawn criticism, particularly from tennis players, but the numbers don't lie. Pickleball is simply better for most people, and sunny environments, like California and Florida, are where it has really taken off.
