"What is pickleball?
What's pickleball?
Well, toss together tennis and badminton and ping-pong.
Actually, imagine yourself standing on a 20-foot-wide, 44-foot-long ping-pong table, wielding an oversize paddle and batting at a wiffle-like plastic ball that travels at about a third the speed of its fuzzy tennis counterpart.
Richard Cary has started today's session by squeegeeing the courts with a sort of giant spongy roller that eliminates the worst of the puddles.
Then it's time for a few warm-up swats before the doubles matches begin in earnest.
“Here, we're what they call slammers,” Cary confides as he balances on the balls of his feet and awaits his opponent's serve."
