People everywhere are finding themselves in a pickle of the best kind—pickleball. Touted as the fastest growing sport in America, pickleball offers excellent exercise for everyone from tweens to seniors. As a cousin of tennis and ping pong, it requires only paddles (which fall somewhere in between the two in terms of size) and a ball much like a wiffle ball. Wondering what all the racket is about? Regulation courts are popping up everywhere from athletic clubs and gyms to neighborhoods and parks, making it easy for you to get in the game.
