Pickleball is taking Lanark and Leeds by storm, especially among the older generation, who are finding joy and camaraderie in this fast-paced sport.
Rules of the Game: Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, Pickleball is played on a smaller court with a paddle and a wiffle ball. The serve must be underhand and diagonal, and players must allow the ball to bounce once before volleying. The game continues until one team reaches 11 points, winning by at least two points.
Staying Fit and Active: Before diving into Pickleball fun, it’s important to assess your physical readiness. While Pickleball is less strenuous than some sports, it still requires agility and mobility. Engage in regular physical activity to maintain strength and flexibility, ensuring you can move comfortably around the court.
Pickleball isn’t just a game; it’s a social experience that promotes wellness and community. Join the craze in Lanark and Leeds and discover the thrill of Pickleball today!
