pickle-ball
Court paddle game
Pickleball is a paddle sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, played on a smaller court with a perforated plastic ball.
The game has surged in popularity, especially among older adults, for being easier on joints than tennis while still competitive: The retirement community added four pickleball courts.
