Pickle-ball is a racquet sport that seemingly combines a badminton court with tennis rules and ping pong paddles. The biggest difference is the no-volley zone in front of the net. Two or four players use their paddles to hit a perforated “wiffle ball” back and forth. The game has grown in recent years and is now played in the United States, Canada, India and Spain.
