The sport

What is pickleball?

A mix of tennis, padel and table tennis played on a smaller court with a paddle and a perforated plastic ball. You can learn it in an afternoon and play it at any age — which is why it is the fastest-growing racket sport in Spain right now.

  • Learn the basics in a single session
  • Small court: less running, more strategy
  • Play doubles, with friends or in tournaments

“Pickleball, a 3G sport: three generations.”

— Michael Hess, founder of pickleball in Spain

The club

More than courts: a group that plays together
