LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) --Pickleball can keep you busy and feeling good in the New Year.
WDRB's Keith Kaiser learned about the paddleball sport at the Louisville Indoor Racquet Club.
Pickleball was first played in 1965 and has been gaining popularity ever since.
It combines elements of badminton, table tennis and tennis.
Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated plastic ball over a net.
The court size is 20’ wide, 44’ long.
The net is 36” tall but 34” in the center.
There is a seven-foot no-volley zone extended from the net known as “the kitchen.”
It's a great activity for young and older players.
