Pickleball is a great game for anyone, young or old. But there are some rules you should know. While the game itself is easy to pick up, the scoring can be confusing for some beginners. There are a few things you need to know to ensure you're playing fair and winning the game.
The main rule to pickleball is to keep the ball in play. That means no volleys, and no hitting the ball directly onto the ground. Also, aim for a high shot. For instance, you may want to hit the ball at the peak of the net so it bounces close to the boundary. Another option is to hit the ball low.
Another important rule is the amount of bounces that each side gets on a serve. Your serve is invalid if the ball is thrown out of bounds. You will still get a point for hitting the ball into the net. This is known to be a fault.
Another rule is The Code of Ethics. This is a set of standards all players are expected follow. If a player breaks one of these, they will be thrown out of the game. Additionally, players may make calls to their own line after rallies.
Other rules include a two-ball limit. The two-ball limit means that players cannot double-hit in the same swing. However they can double-hit if they hit it in one motion. A two-ball limit has the advantage of making it easier for beginners learn to play.
To win the game, each team must score at least 11 points more than the opposing team. A game ends when each team has earned 11 points. However, some games go beyond that. Teams usually switch sides when they have scored six to eight points. The game will be continued until either the teams are tied or ahead.
Pickleball rules are very similar with other sports. They have been designed to make the game fair, accessible and fun for all ages. Singles and doubles are possible. Once you have mastered the basics of the game, you will be able to try advanced shots like drop serves.
Before a player begins a rally he/she must announce their score. This is vital because it will inform the other team who will serve next. The player may ask for a correction to the score if it is incorrect. If a player gets served by another player, he or she must remain in the NVZ zone (no volley zone), while the other person should remain in the serving zone.
If a team serves a wrong number of times, it will lose the game. If a team's first serve goes out of bounds, it is a fault. Faults will result in a penalty of re-serving.
Other rules can be added to make the game more fair and fun. These rules provide a good foundation for those who want to learn the game.
