Pickleball on the Tennis Court

I had never heard of pickleball before last week, when a woman at the pool was lamenting the fact that she's missed a pickleball clinic that day. She explained the game in too much detail for my level of interest, but I was happy for that information when I saw a threesome playing on the tennis court yesterday afternoon.

It's a hybrid of tennis, badminton and ping pong played with a paddle and plastic ball. The threesome playing (one on two) seemed to be having a great time, with just enough exertion to make the game something of a workout. I suppose a game is as demanding as the players make it. It looks like a lot of fun.
