Pickleball is a game where the goal is to win rallies and score points against your opponent. The player of the serving side serves the ball once per rally. If they are serving singles or doubles, the server will serve from behind their left service court.

The server returns the ball after a rally to the opposing team. Players will often flip a coin in order to decide which team is the first server.


How to Serve

It is important to know that in order to serve correctly in pickleball the player serving must hit the tennis ball diagonally to the opposite service court. It's because the scoring in pickleball is based on the "side out" system, which means the winning team is the one that hits the ball into the opposite service court diagonally rather than straight up the middle.

When you feel confident, start practicing. You can hit the ball with a buddy to get a feel for it before you enter your first tournament.

Kitchen Zone Play: Non-Volley Zone

A unique aspect of pickleball is that players cannot volley the ball while standing in the kitchen, or on the kitchen line. That's because it can cause the ball to bounce before it reaches its opponent's side of the court, which isn't what you want to happen.
