Pickleball: The next Olympic sport?

The relatively new sport has exploded in popularity, a blend of badminton, tennis and table tennis!

Originally invented in the US in the 1960s, its popularity in the UK has risen dramatically in a very short space of time. In Herefordshire and Worcestershire alone, there were no courts two years ago - now there are six clubs, with an estimated 3,000 players in the West Midlands.

James Pearson reports at Wyre Forest Leisure Centre in Kidderminster.
