FAQS

What are the rules of Pickleball?  

• Pickleball is played on a doubles badminton size court.
• The net is 34″ high at the center and can be played as singles or doubles.
• Points are gained only by the serving team and the score must be announced before each serve.
• The game is played to 11 points, but you must win by 2 points.
• To begin, the team that serves first only gets one serve, but thereafter, each team member gets to serve until they side-out. The score includes the serving team score (e.g. 5), the receiving team score (e.g. 3) and the server number (either the #1 for the first server on the team or #2 for the second server). So for example, the second server from the serving team would announcing the score to be 5–3–2 since they were winning 5–3.
• Serving is always done underhand, below the bellybutton, from behind the baseline, across the court and past the kitchen (the no-volley zone).
• Points are scored by the serving team only.
