Pickleball is becoming a popular trend in Vietnam, with the explosive appearance of playgrounds, tournaments, as well as the number of players increasing day by day. Although it has only been "bustling" for the past year, this sport has a strong attraction thanks to its advantages of being easy to access, easy to play, contributing to health training and stress relief, suitable for many ages, especially for vulnerable groups such as women, children or the elderly.
