Equipment
One of the great things about Pickleball is its low start-up costs. New players need a few pieces of basic equipment to get started.
Paddles: Pickleball paddles are smaller than a tennis racquet but larger than a table-tennis paddle and are made of several materials. A lighter paddle is recommended for new players.
Balls: Similar to wiffle balls, pickleballs are lightweight with holes. There are differences between indoor and outdoor balls. Fortunately, the TPC provides the balls at the Trilogy Courts.
Athletic Apparel & Footwear: There is no dress code for pickleball. Athletic wear and tennis apparel are standard. Be sure to invest in a good pair shoes.
