Pickleball and Tennis at Vidanta Resorts

Pickleball has taken the sports world by storm and is now available at Vidanta resorts !  

What is Pickleball?

Pickleball,  like tennis hits the ball over a net on a rectangular court. However, pickleball uses wooden paddles and a plastic hollow ball with holes in its surface (like a whiffle ball). The court is approximately a third of the one used in tennis, so less movement is required from picklers to hit the low-bouncing ball, making it a game that welcomes everyone.
