A few members have remarked about how difficult it is to explain pickleball to friends and relatives who have never heard of the sport. Some have asked to have a video available on our site so others could see a game in action. This movie is a series of clips taken at Sun City Grand's most recent mixed doubles pickleball tournament on November 12th, 2005. It illustrates some good rallies and quite a few different types of shots.

The movie is about 2:30 long and can be viewed on your computer. We have included two formats, both of which are about 6.25 MB (either should download in about a minute if you have DSL or cable service).
