Mastering the Rules of Pickleball

The rules of Pickleball might seem simple, but they're the backbone of the game. Here, we'll dive into what you need to know to start playing. We'll cover scoring, serving, and basic strategies. Don't worry, we're keeping it straightforward and fun, just like Pickleball itself.

Games are played to 11 points, and you need at least 2 points to win. Only the serving team can score a point, adding to the challenge. Understanding these rules is crucial to mastering Pickleball from the start.

Moreover, each player on a team gets a turn to serve before the serve switches sides, and players switch sides when the leading score reaches 6. This side switch helps negate any advantages that might arise from environmental factors, ensuring fair play.
