I must have watched a dozen of videos trying to explain pickleball rules and I was still as dumb as when I started. I agree with others, this is definitely the best video I've watched! I am now confident to go on the court. Thank you.

Without a doubt the best video I have seen explaining to a beginner how to play Pickleball. I took a lesson and this video did a far better job explaining the basics of how to play and how to keep score than my private lesson did. Thank you for posting this video🙂

Just to be clear, and make sure I understand. When the first serve of the game occurs, it’s 0-0-2, and your partner (server 1) is skipped after side out? With that said, you’re always server 2, even though you were the first server? Great video btw, thanks for the content.
