What Is Pickleball???
Pickleball is a racket sport in which two to four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a plastic perforated ball over a 34” net. The sport shares features of other racket sports, the dimensions and layout of a Badminton court, and a net and rules similar to Tennis with a few modifications.
What makes Pickleball Unique From Other Sports?
2 Things:
1. The Double Bounce Rule -- The Double Bounce Rule means that people on both sides of the net must let the ball bounce 1 time before you can hit a ball out of the air (on serve & return of serve). This unique rule goes a long way towards keeping the game very close and competitive.
2. The Non-Volley Zone (a.k.a. "The Kitchen") -- This Non-Volley Zone is the second feature of Pickleball that helps keep the game competitive. The Non-Volley Zone is a 7 foot area on each side of the net where you are not permitted to smash or hit the ball out of the air before letting the ball bounce 1 time.
