... Pickleball?

It's a popular sport in southern states, yes, but it's also played all over. In fact, it started in Washington (state). Yup, it's a goofy name. Basically I describe it as a cross between ping pong and tennis. Imaging hitting a whiffle ball over a net on a reduced size tennis court, using paddles similar to a ping pong variety. You can get a workout, but you don't have to run around as much as tennis (the ball doesn't bounce much, or travel too fast). Here's the Wikipedia page about it:
