Sound familiar?
A racket sport that needs no court, no calm weather, and no experience.
Tennis needs a court, expensive rackets, and a five-year head start just to rally.
Badminton works beautifully until there is a single gust of wind. Then the shuttlecock disappears.
Every child who picks up a racket has a different ability level, which means someone gets bored immediately.
Garden sports that need setup, assembly, and calm conditions rarely get unpacked past the first weekend.
The Jaques Pickleball Set needs a flat surface and a two-minute net setup. Drive, patio, or lawn, all work equally well. The plastic ball stays where you hit it. The paddles fit from age 5 to adult. Everyone plays from the first point.
What families are saying about the Pickleball Set
My father-in-law beat my teenager three times in a row. We played for two hours.
"Set it up on the driveway on Sunday afternoon. My 7-year-old and my 11-year-old both played immediately with no instruction needed. The ball does not go far when you miss it, which means no one is chasing it down the street every two minutes. Genuinely one of the best garden purchases we have made."
"We bought it for the kids and it is us who cannot stop playing. My husband and I had a proper competitive match at 9pm after the children went to bed. The net is sturdy, the paddles feel solid, and it all packs away into the carry bag in under a minute. Brilliant value."
"I was worried it would feel like a cheaper version of tennis. It does not. The slower ball and the shorter court mean you actually get rallies going from the very first game. My daughter picked it up faster than any sport she has tried before. She now asks to play it every day after school."

From box to first point in minutes
How the Pickleball Set works: three steps
Set up the net
Unfold and lock the net frame on any flat surface. Takes under 2 minutes, no tools needed.
Two to four players, score across the net
Serve, rally, score. The plastic ball travels at a pace everyone can return. The rules are simpler than tennis.
First to 11 wins
First to 11 points takes the game. Whoever loses demands a rematch. That is usually everyone.
Why it works
The sport the whole family actually plays together.
The Pickleball Set works on a driveway, a patio, or a lawn. If the surface is flat, you can play. No court markings, no special ground needed, no booking required.
The slower ball and shorter court close the skill gap between a five-year-old and their grandparent. Everyone gets rallies going from the first game. No one sits out because they cannot keep up.
The perforated plastic ball travels low and true even in a breeze. Unlike badminton, wind does not end the game. The Pickleball Set comes out in conditions that would pack away any shuttlecock instantly.

From families who play it
The set that never stays in the cupboard.
Most garden games get used twice. The Pickleball Set gets used every weekend something brings the family outside.
"We took it to my parents' house on Easter Sunday. My dad had never heard of pickleball. By the end of the afternoon he had beaten every grandchild at least once and was asking where he could buy his own set. The carry bag means it travels brilliantly." Harriet F., Warwickshire
"My twins are 8 and have completely opposite competitive temperaments. One cries when she loses anything. Pickleball has been the first sport where she keeps wanting to play even after a loss because the games are short and the next one starts immediately. Something about that format just works for her." Mark S., Bristol

Questions & answers
Everything parents ask about the Pickleball Set
What age is the Pickleball Set suitable for?
The Pickleball Set is suitable from age 5 upward. The paddles are lightweight and the ball travels at a pace young children can track and return from the very first game. Adults play alongside children without the skill gap that makes tennis difficult for families to enjoy together.
What surface does it need?
Any flat surface works: a driveway, a patio, a hard garden path, or a lawn. The perforated plastic ball bounces predictably on hard surfaces and travels more slowly on grass, which makes grass games slightly more relaxed. No court markings are needed. If the surface is flat, the Pickleball Set works on it.
What is the difference between pickleball and tennis?
Pickleball uses a solid paddle rather than a strung racket, and a perforated plastic ball rather than a felt ball. The court is smaller, the net is lower, and the ball travels more slowly. This means rallies happen from the very first game without years of practice. The scoring goes to 11 rather than the tennis format, so games are shorter and more suited to family play.
Does the Pickleball Set come with a carry bag?
Yes. The carry bag is included in the set. It holds the net, all four paddles, and all four balls. The whole set packs away in under a minute and fits comfortably in a boot, a hallway cupboard, or a sports bag. Nothing needs to be stored separately.
A net, four paddles, four balls.
Someone's grandparent beats a teenager. Every time.
We have been making moments like this since 1795.
— Joe, Jaques of London
