Pickleball
About Pickleball
Invented by some cool dads in the 1960s, pickleball has become the casual pickup sport in the past few years. It’s a fun, fast-paced game that’s easy to learn while still offering a competitive challenge to players at all levels of athletic ability. Pickleball has been the fastest-growing sport in the United States since 2021, and there are nearly 49 million players in the U.S. alone. You’re about to become one of them!

How It’s Done
Pickleball is played on a 20'x44' court with a 36-inch net. Players can play alone (singles) or on teams of two (doubles) against an opposing team or player on the opposite side of the net. Players hit the ball back and forth to each other over the net, scoring points when the other team hits a ball out of bounds, hits the ball while in the kitchen, or fails to return the ball back over the net.
The game begins when a member of one team serves the ball, hitting it over the net to the opposing team.
The ball must bounce once in bounds before the opposing team can hit it over the net.
It must bounce on the serving team’s side of the net before they can hit the ball back as well.
After these two bounces post-serve (the two-bounce rule), players may volley (hit the ball back and forth) without allowing the ball to bounce.
A point is scored by the serving team if the opposing team is unable to return the ball over the net.
Or a point is scored by the serving team if the opposing team hits the ball over the net, but it lands out of bounds instead of being hit by the serving team.
Also a point is scored by the serving team if the opposing team hits the ball while standing in the kitchen, the zone 7 feet in front of the net on either side.
If the serving team makes any of these faults, the server loses the serve, which goes to the second player on the team. When the serving team commits a fault during the second team member’s serve, the serve is then lost to the opposing team.
Only the serving team scores points, and the game ends when a team reaches 11 points and beats the other team’s score by at least 2 points.
