New to Pickleball? Here's How It Works

Pickleball is a fast-paced, easy-to-learn sport that’s perfect for all ages and fitness levels. While individual games usually last between 10 to 20 minutes, most players enjoy recreational sessions that run for up to 2 hours - full of fun, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs.

🏓 Game Basics:

• Serve to Start
  The game begins with an underhand serve across the net, diagonally into the opponent’s service court.

• Double Bounce Rule
  The ball must bounce once on each side before volleys (hitting the ball in the air) can begin.

• Net Play
  Players rally back and forth, mixing up fast volleys and soft drop shots—especially near the non-volley zone (a.k.a. "the kitchen").

• Scoring
  Only the serving team can score points. If the receiving team wins the rally, they gain the serve.

• Winning the Game
  Games are typically played to 11 points, but you must win by at least 2.
