Pickleball, the game with a crazy name, started here in Rotorua over 4 years ago and has really started to take off, with around 45 centres popping up around the country from Kerikeri down to Invercargill.
It is a combination of Badminton, Tennis and Table Tennis played on a Badminton sized court it can be played indoor or outdoor.
