The summer calendar is in, and we don't know about you, but our quota of outdoor sports, games, and activities is going to significantly increase. As we run to swimming classes and book our early morning cycle tours, we are also constantly on the hunt for something new and refreshing that can be added to our arm's length list of fun and good times. Well, we may have found something that tennis enthusiasts might already know of, but certainly caught our attention for the first time, i.e. Pickleball. It is a paddle sport, fit to be played outside and inside, requires two or four players, and is fairly simple and beginner-friendly. Although pretty similar to tennis or table tennis, it has different court dimensions and rules, and the paddles are slightly bigger than the table tennis one. And to make this discovery fool-proof, here are six places to play pickleball in Delhi and plan your Sunday Funday!
