Pickleball or padel has recently surged in popularity, becoming one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, it’s easy to learn and accessible for all ages. Its low-impact nature and social aspects have made it especially popular in community centers, parks, and even competitive leagues.
