You might wonder how to play properly if you are new to pickleball. You can begin playing pickleball in just minutes.

The rule of service is one of the most important pickleball rules. The server must serve with their foot behind the baseline, which is the center of the court. They must also serve underhand. This is essential as it allows you to make sure that the tennis ball does not fall and reaches opponent's service court in an underhanded way.

A second important pickleball law is the "two-bounce" rule. This rule has a lot of importance because it says that the returner (player diagonally across the server) must let it bounce once before contacting the ball, and a second bounce after it is returned. Many people overlook this simple rule.

How to Score Pickleball

Pickleball is a game where scoring is very important. It is very important that you call out your score every time you play. Inexperienced players are prone to losing track of the game's score. Therefore, knowing how to correctly call out the score can be crucial in helping you to win.


Many new pickleball players are surprised when they learn there are several different serves, including the drop serve and volley serve. Drop serves are easier than overhand serves because the paddle is dropped in the air while the ball is being served.

The volley serve involves using your arm to release ball when it hits the paddle. It's a comfortable serve for many players. You can choose to serve overhand or underhand. However, underhand feels more natural because it is less stiff.

Pickleball scoring

Pickleball is played with 11 points. There's also a third point that indicates whether or not a team is serving for the first time. The score will always be called by the player serving. He or she will say three numbers.

How to Score in Doubles

In doubles play, each side gets to serve twice. The server will give a score 0-0-2 with '2'representing their status as designated second serve. The server holds the serve until their receiving team either commits an error or wins a rally. The server loses their serve once the receiving team makes a mistake. They will then switch sides with the partner of the other doubles.

Other rules apply to pickleball. For example, the ball must remain within the white line. It is similar to ping-pong rules and can have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
