It's a variant on tennis that was originally designed for elderly people because it has a safer range of motion in the arm that for some reason has taken off with the college crowd and is now on espn.

Imagine a court that looks like table tennis from Honey I shrunk The kids, then give all the players weird wooden pallets instead of rackets, and then tell them they can't do any overhead swings and you have pickleball.

We played it in gym class in middle school, 25 years ago.

Then I never heard of it again until like a year ago and I saw signs for leagues. Now the local tennis courts are taken over by players.

I may be wrong, but it seems like table tennis on a tennis court.

Tennis for the elderly and those too lazy to play actual tennis.

I remember seeing people playing it at the beach 20 or so years ago. Now it's on TV.

Mini Tennis.

It's a friendlier game for new players. You spend way more time playing the actual game and less time chasing the ball that's rolled away from the court.
