00:00Hey guys, I'm Darren McMullen.

00:28I am the founder of Racket Club and we are here in our brand spanking new Canberra Racket

00:35Club.

00:36It is the only paddle and pickleball center in the capital.

00:40Paddle is the fastest growing sport in the world for good reason.

00:43It's highly addictive.

00:44It's the same scoring as tennis, 15, 30, 40 game.

00:50After six games, you win the set, whoever best of three sets wins the entire match.

00:55Now, usually played in doubles, the glass is in play.

00:59It's a little bit of squash, it's a little bit of tennis, a bit of geometry.

01:03So I hope you paid attention to school and a whole lot of fun.

01:06The only other thing you need to know is the serve is underhand.

01:09So really anyone can play.

01:11The big thing with tennis is it makes it so hard to enter into the game at an adult level

01:15is the serve.

01:16It's completely debilitating if you've got a guy who can serve.

01:19This is a complete balancer, underarm serve, bounce to the ball, cross court like tennis,

01:24game on.

01:25Simple as that.

01:26Come down, check us out, have some fun.

01:29We have heaters, it's inside and we have a bar, more importantly.

01:38So the glass comes into play.

01:40One more of them.

01:43And you can also hit it off the glass and over as well.

01:46That counts too.

01:47As long as it only touches your side on the ground once, you're good to go.

01:55Out.

01:56You can use all of the glasses in play to use to your advantage as well.
