What you need
Pickleball is a game where you need only a few items to play:- Court – A dedicated court or a flat surface where a court can be created. i.e. a driveway, etc…If using a driveway or non dedicated court, then you will need to create markings for the lines. Chalk or Gaffer Tape (does not leave a residue) tend to work best.
- Net – If you are creating the court, then you will need to put up a temporary net.
- Paddle – Each athlete will need a paddle to play with.
- Ball – Only one ball is needed to play.
- Proper Footwear – Socks and sneakers / court shoes are ideal.
Not required, but highly recommended – protective goggles.
That’s it!
