Description

Pickleball is paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. It combines many elements of badminton, ping pong and tennis. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but the game can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competition for experienced players. Pickleball can be played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. The sport is played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. You can play Pickleball in singles or doubles formats. Pickleball was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle Washington and has evolved into both a fun and competitive game throughout the US and Canada. A Pickleball court is the same size as a doubles badminton court and measures 20×44 feet. The net height is 36 inches at the sidelines and 34 inches in the middle. The court looks similar to a tennis court with right and left service courts and includes a 7-foot non-volley zone in front of the net (referred to as the “kitchen”). Points can only be scored on the serve, the receiving side cannot score points. At the start of a game, the player on the right side serves diagonally to the opposite court. If a point is scored, the server moves to the left side and serves to the diagonally opposite court. Players on the serving side continue to move left and right each time a point is scored. The first server continues to serve until the serving team loses a rally; then the serve passes to the second server on the team. When the second server loses the serve, the serve goes to the other team and the player on the right serves first. This pattern continues throughout the game. The Score should be called out as three numbers: Server score, receiver score and for doubles only, the server number, 1 or 2. To start a match the score will be called as: 0 -0 –two. Singles Scoring is similar to doubles except there is no second server. The serve is always done from the right side when the server’s score is even and from the left side when the server’s score is odd. The score is called as: server score, receiver score.
