New to Pickleball? 🥒

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America. Easy to learn, hard to stop playing. Here's the whole game in four bites:

  1. 1 Serve it up

    Serve underhand, below the waist, diagonally cross-court. Your serve must clear the kitchen, the 7-foot zone at the net.

  2. 2 Let the ball bounce, twice

    Let the serve bounce before you return. Let the return bounce too. After those two bounces, volley away.

  3. 3 Stay out of the kitchen

    No volleying while standing in the non-volley zone at the net. Everyone forgets this at first. Everyone.

  4. 4 Play to 11, win by 2

    Only the serving team scores. First to 11, win by 2, takes the game. Winners rotate off and new players jump in.

First time? Perfect. Wear court shoes, bring water, and come to any open play session. We love teaching new players, and a spare paddle is usually around. Post in the Facebook group and we'll get you set.
