What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a paddleball sport that is played on a badminton-sized court with a hard paddle and a plastic ball with holes. The game is a combination of elements from badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Pickleball is a great sport for people of all ages and skill levels, and it is a great way to get exercise and have fun.

Equipment
To play pickleball, you will need the following equipment:
* A pickleball paddle * A pickleball * A court * A net
Pickleball paddles are made of a variety of materials, including wood, graphite, and aluminum. The size and shape of the paddle will vary depending on the player's preference. Pickleballs are made of plastic and have holes in them. They are slightly smaller than a tennis ball. The court is a rectangle that is 20 feet wide and 44 feet long. The net is 36 inches high at the sidelines and 34 inches high in the middle. [Image of a pickleball paddle, ball, and net, alt="Pickleball equipment"]
Rules
The rules of pickleball are simple to learn. Here is a basic overview:
* The game is played with two or four players. * The players stand on opposite sides of the net. * The server hits the ball diagonally over the net to the receiver. * The receiver must hit the ball back over the net before it bounces twice. * The players continue to hit the ball back and forth until one player misses it or hits it into the net. * The player who misses the ball loses the point. * The first player to reach 11 points wins the game.

Basic Techniques
There are a few basic techniques that you need to know to play pickleball:
* The握拍: The correct grip is to hold the paddle with your dominant hand, with your thumb and first two fingers on the handle. Your other hand can be used to support the paddle. * The forehand stroke: The forehand stroke is the most basic stroke in pickleball. To hit a forehand, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold the paddle in front of you with your dominant hand and swing it forward, hitting the ball with the face of the paddle. * The backhand stroke: The backhand stroke is used to hit balls that are on your backhand side. To hit a backhand, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold the paddle in front of you with your non-dominant hand and swing it back, hitting the ball with the back of the paddle. * The volley: The volley is a shot that is hit before the ball bounces. To volley, stand close to the net and hit the ball with the face of the paddle as it comes towards you. [Image of a person hitting a forehand stroke in pickleball, alt="Pickleball forehand stroke"]

* Start by playing with a friend or family member who is also new to the game. * Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when they are first learning to play pickleball. * Be patient and have fun. Pickleball is a great game to play and it is a great way to get exercise.
