Pickleball is a sport that combines elements of tennis and ping-pong. It's fast-paced and easy to learn. Pick a partner to learn the rules and then play. This is a great game to have fun and interact with others.

Pickleball should be played on a size court of approximately 44 feet x 20 feet. The net must be at least 36 inches high. In singles, the person serves on the right. Doubles are played on the side of the stronger team. Normally, matches are played at 11 points. Tournament games may have 15 or 21 players. During a game, the winner is the team with the most points.

Another rule you should know is that pickleball players must stay in their lines when volleying. There is a zone that is not allowed to be volleyed, often called the "kitchen". The ball is considered out of bounds after the serve. The ball that hits the net is considered a foul. This means that the ball must be played by the opposing team.

The receiving team can then volley the ball as long as the ball bounces. They can hit with a ground strike, a kick, or a dive. When a dart lands on a net, it clears that net and forces the opponent into a backwards swing.


Another rule states that the ball must bounce one time on the side being served before it is allowed to be returned. A pickleball return hit will usually be either a groundstroke, or avolley. It must be struck from a spot farther back than the net. This will help keep the game moving smoothly.

Another rule states that the server is limited to one attempt at serving. This gives the server an easier time scoring the first points. He or she also has 10 seconds to do so. Server form is crucial since points are based on two bounces.

Other rules you should know include the serve/service sequence rule and the two bounce rule. These rules allow you to determine who serves first during a rally. In singles and doubles, the winner will serve first. However, if you're playing in a tournament, the winning team must be at least two points ahead.

One of the most basic rules in pickleball is the double-bounce rule. This rule is important to ensure that the game remains competitive and does not allow points accumulate too quickly. The opposing team cannot serve again after a team has committed a mistake. The other team is not required to be at the table when the receiving team begins serving.

In addition to the basic pickleball rules, there are other rules that make the game unique. Drop serve, two-bounce rule, non-volley zone are just a few of the rules. All of these rules are being updated in the 2021 USAPA Pickleball Rules Book.
