The Ultimate Guide to Pickleball Rules

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in North America. Whether you are a beginner or looking to refresh your knowledge, here are the most important rules you need to know.

First, the game is played on a badminton-sized court with a modified tennis net. Serving must be done underhand and below the waist. Second, remember the double-bounce rule: both the serve and the return of serve must bounce once before players can volley the ball.

Third, pay close attention to the Non-Volley Zone, commonly referred to as "the kitchen". Players cannot volley the ball while standing inside this zone. Following these rules will ensure you play safely and enjoyably on the court.
