How to Play Pickleball

[hoosierpete]

So it's like playing ping pong on a tennis court.

THIS GAME IS, badminton and tennis combined, with ping pong bats and a Wiffle ball, and was invented by a bunch of kids just making up a game with all the leftover crap in the garage .

Anybody else want to see the players decide who goes first with rock paper scissors on Wimbledon?

For all those on the fence, just play with a friend for an hour to give it a try. It is much more fun than it looks, and has a much higher fun/frustration ratio than tennis

Why didn't the inventors just use tennis scoring instead of confusing people?

Now I want to play pickleball because of you thank
you

In doubles, are there restrictions on a receiving team's player position beyond not changing sides during a serve sequence? Do they have to be on a particular side based on score, such as at the beginning of the game the starting server for receiving team would have to return from the even side?

Did leave out the most important information for the transferee from other racket/paddle sports..."This ball doesn't bounce worth a darn!!!" would be about the second thing I would mention.😅

Great video! The only confusing thing was understanding when a side out occurred.

Can you throw the paddle into the kitchen and volley with the paddle mid-air?

[DyrianLightbringer]

Calling the area around the net the "kitchen" makes it sound like pickleball was started by a couple of kids whose mother kept yelling at them to stay out of the kitchen, and they took their childhood antics of playing ball in the house and put it on a court.

[mudbrats]

If there are no Volleys in the Kitchen, why would she say you can choose to play/stand in the Kitchen? Just curious

Great video showing some of the basic rules to help a newbie thinking about playing know what the game is about. However, the part where ALW poaches in front of MomW causing an I formation, then MomW moving behind and to the other court can cause confusion for someone seeing it for the first time. It's too advanced for beginners. I would suggest an edit to take that out!

I am going to try it for the first time .
Do the workers there usually give you the equipment and stuff?
Or you should get your own ?

Great video! Thanks for making it. Forwarding to some friends who are playing their first game toniight.

“The serve goes to the next person.” Which person,
which team?

[nofurtherwest]

Good for building hand-eye coordination

Serve rules and points system are like old badminton rules.. Couldve just said that.. Is this tennis, badminton and table tennis combined.. Seems fun

I don't like pickles, but I think I would like pickleball!
