【Sports Activities】: UM Staff – 2024 Summer Pickleball Parent-Child Class

What is Pickleball? 

Pickleball is a racket sport which combines elements of badminton, table tennis and tennis. The game ball has less bounce and is slower, it requires less energy to hit the ball, while the racket is also easier to use because it is shorter and lighter than a tennis racket. The rules of Pickleball are simple, easy to understand, easy to learn, and highly interesting, making it very suitable for children to enjoy and experience!
