A Brief background
The sport was invented in 1965 by 3 fathers from Seattle, WA, whose kids were bored with their usual activities.
what is pickleball?
Pickleball is a mix of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton played on a badminton-sized court with a slightly altered tennis net. The non-volley zone in the center of the court is known as the kitchen. Traditionally, the game is played to 11 in either doubles or singles.

rules of the game
The rules of the game include serving the ball underhand, cross court, where it must bounce once before the other team is able to respond. The receiving team must let the serve bounce and the serving team must let the return bounce before the ball can be volleyed back and forth. Players must stay out of the kitchen to avoid any faults!
Pickleball is a year-round amenity for many Montecito residents.
