Happy National Pickleball Day to all who celebrate and play this weird little mish-mash of sports!
What exactly is Pickleball? Well, other than having a satisfying soundtrack, this sport is one that is like tennis or badminton but is instead played with a wiffleball and paddles instead of racquets.
The courts are also smaller than tennis courts, with a “no volley zone”, otherwise known as “the kitchen.” Hitting lightly over the net into the kitchen is called “dinking” and there are plenty other strange means of play and terms to go along with them.
Still confused? This comedian on TikTok has a pretty reasonable explanation for all of it.
@chrisbarnescomedy If you’re too un-athletic for tennis and too poor for golf, pickle ball is the perfect sport for you! #comedy #funny #sketchcomedy #pickleball #pickleballtiktok
