The rules
Pickleball Rules
- The first player or pair to 11 points with 2 in hand is the winner.
- Service begins from the right-hand court, and serves must be underarm. There are no second serves.
- Players can only score points on their own service.
- Service must be made diagonally (as in tennis) and must bounce. The return of service must also bounce.
- There’s a non-volley zone seven feet either side of the net (sometimes referred to as “the kitchen”).
- Teams must win by 2 clear points or the game continues until one team has the winning margin
