Pickleballs

First things first, you need a pickleball. A pickleball is about the size of a tennis ball but has holes, one of the significant differences. You should get a pack of pickleball to play it safe, instead of just a few. Note that there are differences between an outdoor pickleball and an indoor one – specify when searching to buy.

This goes without saying – you should be wearing athletic wear. Most importantly, wear the appropriate shoes on the court – e.g. tennis shoes.
