Pickleball

The rules of pickleball are simple and the game is easy for beginners of all ages to learn. Games can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competition for players of all skill levels. Pickleball combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong and can be played singles or doubles. Gather some friends or meet new players at a social drop-in session at the Y. Pickleball is now offered both indoors and outdoors!

Rules of the Game

The five basic pickleball rules are:

1. Serving must be underhand from the baseline, diagonally crosscourt, and the serve cannot land in the no-volley zone (kitchen).
2. The serving player/team must let the return of serve bounce.
3. The ball must stay in bounds during play and bounce no more than once per side.
4. Players cannot hit the ball in the air when in the kitchen.
5. Games are played to 11, win by two. Points are only scored by the serving player/team. There are more rules to the game, but these five will help you to get started. Have fun!
