PICKEL BALL BASICS AND TIPS

Pickleball is a fun and engaging sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Here's a quick overview of the basic rules and some tips to help you get started:

Basic Rules of Pickleball:

- The Court: Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court (20' x 44').

- Serving: The serve must be underhand and below the waist level. The server's arm must be moving in an upward arc when the ball is struck.

- Scoring: Points are scored only by the serving team. Games are normally played to 11 points, win by 2.

- Two-Bounce Rule: Each side must let the ball bounce once before volleys are allowed.

- Non-Volley Zone: Also known as the 'kitchen', players cannot volley within this 7-foot zone adjacent to the net.

Helpful Tips for Beginners:

1. Serve Deep: Aim to serve deep to your opponent's backhand side to make their return more difficult.

2. Stay Patient: Don't rush to the net immediately. Remember the two-bounce rule and move forward strategically.

3. Keep Your Paddle Up: Always be ready for the ball with your paddle up and in front of you.

4. Use the Kitchen: Learn to master shots from the non-volley zone to improve your soft game.

5. Practice Your Dinks: Dinks are soft shots hit from near the net that drop into the opponent's kitchen, making them difficult to return aggressively.

Remember, practice is key to improving your skills and understanding of the game. Enjoy your time on the court! ๐Ÿ“
