Sports Interest Courses for 2nd Semester of 2024/2025 – Pickleball (Application Deadline: 26 Feb 2025)

Pickleball originated in 1965, is a paddle sport that combines the characteristics of badminton, tennis and table tennis. The pickleball court size is similar as a badminton court with a net that is about the height as a tennis net, while the paddle is like an enlarged table tennis paddle, and the ball is a hollow plastic ball that is slightly larger than a tennis ball with multiple holes on it. The playing method is similar to that of tennis and because the ball has less elasticity, slower speed, and the paddle has a larger hitting area, it is easier for people to get started. The gameplay and rules combine badminton, tennis, and table tennis, with no gender or age restrictions.
