Pickleball is having a serious moment. It’s fast-paced, super social, and easy to pick up even if you haven’t played a racket sport before. Somewhere between tennis, ping pong, and badminton, the game is played on a small court (usually as doubles), and you don’t need much to start. Pack a paddle, a ball, and select a place to play. There are courts popping up all over Detroit and Metro Detroit. Some are free. Some serve cocktails. All are worth checking out. Want to make it social or try a few spots with friends? Start with one of the indoor clubs or weekend open plays. They’re built for meeting people and getting into games fast.
