Try pickleball, the fun, easy-to-learn sport for all ages and abilities. It is played by over 36 million people worldwide, and combines elements of badminton, tennis and ping pong. The net is similar to tennis but a little lower, the ball is a hard, hollow plastic ball with holes in it, and it travels at about a third of the speed of a tennis ball. The underhand serve makes it easier to play than tennis, and more accessible for children and older adults.
