• You can play Pickleball singles or doubles. 

• Doubles can be considered more beginner friendly as the court size stays the same for both singles and doubles ​

​​

​Game Instructions

• Player on the right side of the court will underhand or drop serve across the court to the opponent's right side to start a rally.​ Serves must past the back kitchen line. 

• Two bounce rule: The first two shots of a rally must bounce (Serve & Return). 

• After the first two shots, you may volley

• The rally will continue until one team hits the ball out of bounce, the ball double bounces on one side of the court or the ball gets hit into the net

• Players are not allowed to hit a volley while standing in the kitchen 

• Reaching over the kitchen or non-volley zone is permitted as well as hitting a ball in the kitchen once it has already bounced. 

​​

​Scoring

• Only the team who serves can score

• If the serving team gets a point, the team will switch sides and the same server will now serve again in the opposite direction. 

• If the serving team does not get a point, the serve goes to the next player, but no one switches sides.

• If the serve goes to the other team, the player on the right side will serve first. 

• In a scoring sequence the first number is the serving team's score, the second number is the receiving team's score and the third number is the service turn (only for doubles).

• Most games are played to 11 points and the team must win by 2 points.
