Abstract: An apparatus for simulating the game of pickleball and for use in practicing pickleball gameplay. The apparatus may include a center panel coupled to a first side panel and a second side panel, and optionally a net coupled to the first side panel and the second side panel. Each of the center panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel may be adjustably mounted to a footer for stabilizing the respective panels. The panels may be formed of a core and cover layers on the core, where the core is provided as a honeycomb material for causing a rebound effect to a pickleball that is similar to a pickleball paddle.
