Finally, someone who knows how to do a quality video/tutorial. Freaking excellent, well done.

Finally! Someone that can explain the rules in a clear way that is easy to understand. I'm 67 years old and just started playing pickleball. Already my game has improved by just watching your video. What a fun game that has inspired me to get off the couch and on the court. Thank you!

The definitive New Player Pickleball guide. Sending this to any new people I encounter.

Consider this your official invitation to the Oliver-Sport experience. Once you've played with one of their paddles, there's no going back. Trust me, you won't regret it! 🎾

This is EXACTLY what you said... serves THEE purpose perfectly with trying to explain the rules of the game and scoring! You are so good with this, and by far, the best videos that are clear, concise, not at all boring, fun to watch, gets to the point, and has great camera coverage. GREAT job.

[chuckborozinski]

By far the best beginner video I've seen. Your explanation of what you can and can not do in the kitchen is perfect. This is not taught enough by people who teach newbies. I am an Ambassador and been teaching for quite a few years and constantly run into players who don't understand these basic kitchen rules. Thank you for all the videos you provide. I just subscribed!! :) Enjoy how you make all the videos fun!

OMG, KYLE YOU'VE SAVED MY LIFE!! I just got a job as a pickleball attendant and have no idea how to play😅, tried to watch pickleball videos that would help, saw your short about how beginner's should watch this video and you have relieved me of so much stress and anxiety about pickleball! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I now have more confidence in doing my job! Keep up the awesome work 👍❤👍❤

This is a great video for understanding the rules. I finally understand who is server one and two and why. I also didn’t know if the ball hits you it’s their point. There is more to learn in this video so it’s it’s definitely worth watching.

[kayalston]

This is the absolute best video introduction to pickleball that I have ever seen. I spend a lot of time recruiting friends to the game. This is now my go to video. Thank you so much for producing it!

I played this over 20 years ago in highschool. Just found some guys at work that play and some courts in the Austin area. Picked up a paddle and going to be playing this weekend! Thanks for the refresher!

[TheDeanosaurus]

About to play for the first time this weekend and this was by FAR the best video covering the rules I've ever seen. Thanks!

[donmartini]

Great guide. The rules were clear and concise in your video. I loved your passion for pickleball!

[tlemay]

The best instructional video! Very clear, simple and easy to understand. Thank you!! 👍🏼❤️

[turtlefire]

Thanks pickleball guy! I've read the USA pickleball rules but never played tennis so didnt really understand what a volley was. I had it explained to me as you couldn't hit overhand/attack in the kitchen so thats how i been explaining it to other people. Now i will just send them this vid!

[juliegoerke]

Wow, very clear and concise! It’s a great video too share with new players. Well done!

[jasonsparks]

My kids and I are all playing for the 1st time tomorrow, so once I saw this I sent it to all of them.Perfectly explained!!Thanks!!

[Jpella]

Great video. I’ve been playing for months, but haven’t really encountered some of the more nuanced kitchen situations. Very helpful. I would have assumed landing in the kitchen after the point was over wouldn’t matter. Now I know better.

[amymurgatroyd]

Best explanation on YouTube. I've shared it with all my beginner friends. Thank you!

[theresarolwes]

Fantastic video! As a teaching pro this will be useful to share with my students after, or before their first lesson. This includes all information in a way that is easy to understand for all types of learners! Thank you for sharing!
