Pickleball is a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, played with a paddle and a plastic ball. While it may seem easy to pick up, there are moments of hilarity that can ensue on the court. Here are the 7 most hilarious pickleball fails that will make you laugh out loud!

Alice was so focused on returning the ball that she forgot she had switched sides after the last point. In an awkward moment, she ended up hitting the ball into her own team's court, much to the confusion of everyone watching.

Bob was running to reach a shot when he suddenly slipped on a stray pickleball that had rolled onto the court. His feet went out from under him, and he comically slid across the court on his back, much to the amusement of his opponents.

Carol attempted a daring 'around the post' shot, trying to curve the ball around the net post. However, her aim was way off, and the ball ended up hitting her in the face instead. The look of disbelief on her face was priceless.

Dave thought he could show off his skills with a behind-the-back shot, but he miscalculated the angle and ended up hitting the ball directly behind him, much to his own surprise. It was a perfect example of when showing off goes wrong.

Emily and Frank both went for the same shot, resulting in a collision that sent them both tumbling to the ground in a tangle of limbs and paddles. The look of confusion on their faces as they tried to untangle themselves was pure comedy.

Gina attempted a 'no-look' shot, where she turned her head away at the last minute to fake out her opponents. However, she completely missed the ball and ended up hitting herself in the thigh instead. It was a hilarious case of overestimating her own skills.

Harry saw a shot coming that he just had to reach, and in a moment of pure determination, he dove for the ball. However, he misjudged the distance and trajectory, and the ball sailed right past him as he face-planted into the court. It was a dive to remember, for all the wrong reasons.
