Pickleball: Learn how to Play



where to stand when serving in pickleball

You might wonder how to play properly if you are new to pickleball. You can begin playing pickleball in just minutes.

The rule of service is one of the most important pickleball rules. Servers serve underhand from the baseline. It is important to do this as it helps you ensure that the ball does not hit the ground, and reaches your opponent's court in a underhanded way.

Another important pickleball rule is the two-bounce rule. This rule is important, as it states that the player who returns the serve, diagonally opposite the server, has to let the ball bounce before making contact, and then it must bounce again after the return. It is a simple but important rule.

How to Score Pickleball

Pickleball is a game where scoring is very important. It is important to always call out the score while you are serving and remember to do it every time you play a match. New players often lose track of their score in a match. Knowing how to accurately announce the score is crucial to winning.


New players are often surprised to discover that pickleball has several types of serves. These include the drop-serve and the volley-serve. Drop serve: The paddle is lowered into the air when the ball is delivered. It's easier to serve with this method than an overhand one.

A volley is a serve where you use the arm to release it as the ball hits the paddle. Most players find this a more comfortable method of serving. You can also choose to serve underhand or overhand, but underhand is the preferred option because it feels more natural and feels less stiff.

Pickleball Scores

In pickleball, there are 11 points, with a third number that represents whether the serving team is on their first or second serve. The score is always called by the person serving, saying three numbers aloud, and you can't win a game unless you call out the correct score!

How to Score Doubles

In doubles, each side gets two serves. The server will announce their score of 0-0-2. '2’ represents that they are the designated second servers. The server keeps the serve until either the receiving team makes a mistake or wins the rally. After the receiving doubles team makes a fault, they lose the serve. The server then switches sides with their partner from the opposite doubles team.

You should also remember that you must keep the ball within the lines when playing pickleball. This is similar to the rules in ping pong, and it can impact the outcome of your game.
