If your idea of pickleball is pickles dancing at a ball, then no. We appreciate how your brain thinks and we want to protect it. We're talking about the viral paddle sport that is basically like table tennis and tennis but it's a lot different from the two. A whole different set of rules, court dimensions, and playing style. The sport is played as singles or doubles and your job is to hit a perforated, hollow plastic ball with paddles over a net until your opponent is unable to return the ball or commits a foul. The best part? It can be played both indoors and outdoors. If you are new to the sport or are somewhat familiar, here are places to play pickleball in Bangalore and have a ball of a game.
