PICKLEBALL RULES
10 Must Know Rules for Pickleball
Pickleball uses an underhand serve.
Both the serve and the return of serve must bounce.
The first side to serve in doubles pickleball only has one service turn
(i.e., serve until the serving team loses a rally); then, each side has two service turns (i.e., each player serves until the serving team loses a rally).
Generally, only the serving team can score points, and the serving team switches sides of the court after each point won.
The server should call the score loudly before each serve.
No volleys are allowed while making contact with the non-volley zone (also known as the kitchen.
Shots on the lines of the pickleball court are allowed in the non-volley zone.
Shots on the lines of the pickleball court are "in, with one exception: the non-volley zone line on the serve is "out."
"Out' calls are made by the pickleball players on the side of the pickleball court where the pickleball bounces.
If the pickleball hits you (other than below your wrist, such as a finger), then you lose the rally.
