Everything You Need To Know To Play Pickleball.
Your goal is to score points by smacking a funky plastic ball (kinda like a wiffle ball) over the net and inside the lines, while making your friends run all over the court. You start by serving diagonally, and the ball must bounce once on each side of the court before you can go all out.
If you want to step into the kitchen to smack the ball, you have to let it bounce first. You want that ball to stay inside the white lines because every time your friend fails to return it or sends it flying out of bounds, you're racking up points. Now, here's the catch: you only score points when you're the one serving and win. But watch out! If your opponent steals wins, they get a shot at scoring too.
The first team to hit 11 points (or whatever number you agree on) with a two-point lead snags the victory. Easy, right? So grab a paddle, bring your friends, and reserve a court for some pickleball fun! Trust me, you'll be hooked in no time. Game on, y'all!
Start with saying the serving team's score. If you have 4 points, you'd say "four."
Follow it up with the receiving team's score: If you're crushing them and only have 1 point, you'd say "one."
This just helps everyone remember what the heck is going on. So when it's the first server on a side, say "1," or if it's the second server, say "2."
