Playing certain sports can carry a risk of getting injured during gameplay. While there is always a risk of getting injured hurt while playing pickleball, there are a couple of ways this sport actually lessens the overall risk of injury. For one thing, pickleball is a slow game, especially when compared to tennis. The court is smaller than for tennis, meaning players do not have to lunge so far and risk injury just to reach the ball. Additionally, the muscle strengthening benefits of pickleball can keep the joints strong and flexible, reducing the individual's risk of injury both inside the game as well as during other activities.
