What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a paddle sport played using a perforated, plastic ball over a tennis-type net on a badminton-sized court. The game can be played in a singles or doubles format. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn!
Rules
Double Bounce Rule
Following the serve, each side must make at least one ground-stroke, prior to volleying the ball (hitting it out of the air).
Non-Volley Zone ("The Kitchen")
A player cannot volley a ball while standing within the non-volley zone.
Line Calls
If any part of the ball lands on the court lines, it is considered in (except in the case of the Non-Volley Line)
First Serve
To begin a new game, only one partner from the first serving side is only allowed to serve. After the first fault, the serve switches to the opposing side.
