Four words you'll hear courtside

The kitchen Pickleball
The non-volley zone, 7 ft from the net on each side. You can't volley while standing in it.
Dink Pickleball
A soft, controlled shot that drops into your opponent's kitchen.
The glass Padel
Padel courts are enclosed, so the ball can be played after it bounces off the back and side walls.
Doubles Both
Both sports are usually played two against two, so you'll always have a partner beside you.
