Jazzminton -

Jazzminton is an exciting, fast paced and extremely addictive indoor/outdoor paddle game. Serve to the other player and rally back and forth. Play a fast competitive game or keep it simple. The sport of paddle ball is played between 2 -4 people using a ball or a birdie. There are no boundaries so you can play this game virtually anywhere especially because the birdies are not very hard and will not break things on impact.
