The Basics of Pickleball
Here are some key things to know about pickleball:
COURT
A standard pickleball court is 6.1 meters wide and 13.4 meters long, with a net at the center. Court dimensions can be modified for single or doubles play.
THE BALL
A pickleball is a lightweight, perforated plastic ball that is similar to a wiffle ball. It is used in combination with a paddle that is smaller than a tennis racket.
SCORING
Points are awarded to the serving player or team when the opposing player(s) makes a fault - such as hitting the ball out of bounds or into the net. Players must win by 2 points - first to 11.
Pickleball Scoring
1. SERVE
The serving team must keep score and announce the score before each serve.
2. POINTS
The first team to reach 11 points and lead by 2 wins the game.
3. SERVING
The serve switches sides every time a team wins a point.
