BADMINTON IN ONE LINE
Badminton is a racket sport played with a shuttlecock across a high net on a rectangular court. Players score points by striking the shuttlecock over the net so it lands within the opponent's boundary lines.
PICKLEBALL IN ONE LINE
Pickleball is a paddle sport played on a badminton-sized court using a perforated plastic ball and lightweight paddles. It combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, featuring a non-volley zone near the net called the kitchen.
