📖 Pickleball Rules 💜
Every great pickleball player starts with the fundamentals.
Knowing the rules isn't just about avoiding faults, it helps you make smarter decisions, stay in better position, and win more points. Whether you're a beginner or looking to sharpen your game, mastering these essentials will give you a strong foundation every time you step on the court.
🏆 How to Win
Games are typically played to 11 points (win by 2), and only the serving team can score.
🏓 Serving Rules
A legal serve is underhand, both feet stay behind the baseline, and the ball must be served diagonally into the correct service court.
🔄 The Two-Bounce Rule
After the serve, the return must bounce before the serving team hits it. Once both required bounces happen, volleys and groundstrokes are allowed.
🚫 Avoid Common Faults
Don't hit the ball out, into the net, volley before the required bounce, or volley while standing in the Kitchen (Non-Volley Zone).
📍 Know the Court
Understanding the Kitchen, service boxes, sidelines, centerline, and baseline helps improve positioning and reduces unnecessary mistakes.
💡 Remember:
The best players don't just hit harder, they understand the rules, make smart decisions, and play with purpose. Great technique starts with great knowledge.
