Why Pickleball Is Easier to Learn Than Tennis or Squash

Ever thought about trying tennis or squash but felt intimidated? Pickleball is different — and easier.

While all racquet sports have their charm, pickleball is uniquely beginner-friendly. Here’s why so many players fall in love with it after just one game.

• Court Size:
• Pickleball = 20x44 ft.
• Smaller courts mean less running, easier rallies.
• Equipment:
• Paddles are light, balls move slower than tennis.
• Easier to control and connect shots.
• Serving Rules:
• Underhand only, making it easier to start a rally.
• Game Length:
• Games go to 11 points. Short, fun, and low-pressure.
• Accessibility:
• Works for kids, retirees, and everyone in between.
• Learning Curve:
• Most players are rallying within 20 minutes.
• Social Vibe:
• Less competitive intensity, more laughter and chatting between points.

Pickleball’s simplicity is what makes it so addictive — it removes barriers so you can focus on fun.
