I believe it has the potential to become an official competition event at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Venue: The size of a badminton court is similar to that of a badminton court, but the balls and rackets used are different. The Pick Ball uses a hollow plastic ball with a diameter of approximately 7.4 centimeters and 26 (indoor) or 40 (outdoor) circular holes on the surface to increase the ball's elasticity and flight stability. Pick rackets are usually smaller than tennis rackets, but larger than table tennis rackets, allowing players to more flexibly control the placement of the ball.
Rule: Pickball is relatively simple and easy to pick up. In the game, players need to make the ball bounce back once on their own court after the opponent serves before hitting the ball. This rule design not only increases the fun of the game, but also reduces the requirements for players' skills, making Pickball a sport suitable for all age groups to participate in. At the same time, Pickball also emphasizes teamwork, and the tacit cooperation and tactical application in doubles matches are also important components of the game.
As an emerging sports event, badminton is gradually gaining recognition and attention worldwide for its unique charm and potential. Sports organizations and enthusiasts from various countries are rapidly promoting and strengthening publicity to increase public awareness and understanding of this sport. At the same time, actively cultivating more outstanding players and coaches, improving the competitive level, audience appeal, and popularity of the sport of badminton.
