Pickleball has the combined features of badminton, tennis and table tennis but also has its own unique features, too! This sport receives point scoring from badminton, the court structure from badminton and tennis, the net from badminton and tennis. The paddle is made of either wood or a composite material. The ball is plastic and contains several small holes, like a wiffle ball. A game is played to 11 points. Only the server can score points 1 point per serve. Each time you win a point you serve again. You continue serving until you lose the rally.
