Pickle ball Rules 1. The ball is served diagonally and points can only be scored by the team that serving. The ball should be hit into the air without being bounced. 2. Players on each side must let the ball bounce once before volleys are allowed, and there is a seven-foot no-volley zone on each side of the net, to prevent “spiking.” 3. Double bounce rule-Each team must play their first shot off of the bounce. That is, the receiving team must let the serve bounce and the serving team must let the return of the serve bounce before playing it. Once these two bounces have occurred, the ball can either be volleyed or played off the bounce. 4. 8.00 min games or the first side scoring eleven points and leading by at least two points wins.

Hand comes down in a slapping motion Day 5 Review/Tournament Day 6 Skill Assessment/Tournament Court Dimensions:Pickle-ball courts should be 20’ x 44’ for both singles and doubles play. The net is lowered from the standard badminton height to 36” on the ends and 34” in the middle.

When laying out the court, it is ideal to allow adequate space outside the end and side lines for player movement. For this reason, we recommend the full court (including out-of-bounds areas) measure 22’ x 56.’ However, Pickle-ball® can still be played without extra side and back space.
