Rules

Pickleball Rules


Rules are adapted from the Official USA Pickleball Rulebook. Anything not covered in these rules will follow the official rulebook found here.


General Rules

  • Pickleball is played on a 20-foot by 44-foot court with a net dividing the court. The court is future divided on each side into right and left service courts and the non-volley zone.
  • The ball is served diagonally across the net to the opponents receiving court using an approved serve.
  • Points are scored only by the serving side during regular play. Due to time constraints rally scoring may be implemented and players will be notified by the League Director or League Coordinator.
  • All games are scored to 11; the team that reaches 11 points first will win, there is no "win by 2" requirement. Exceptions are made for playoff and tournament play at the League/Tournament Directors' discretion.
  • Rally scoring means that every serve will score a point regardless of who the serving team is.
  • All matches are self-officiated and the player that is closest to the ball should make the call regarding in or out.
  • All players are to be respectful of all calls, whether they agree or not


Game Play

  • Two-Bounce Rule: After the ball is served, the ball must bounce on each side prior to volleying the ball.
  • Non-Volley Zone(NVZ) or Kitchen: A player is not allowed to volley the ball without it first bouncing in the NVZ


Serving:

  • The score must be called before the ball is served
  • The server must serve to the correct service court, diagonally opposite the server
  • The serve may clear or touch the net and must clear the NVZ and the NVZ lines. The serve may land on any other service court line.
  • If the serve clears the net or hits the net and then touches the receiver of the receiver's partner, it is a point for the serving team.
  • The server shall use only one hand to release the ball to perform the serve. If the ball is visibly spun by the server during the release, the part(s) of the hand contacting the ball must be bare. The server's release of the ball must be visible to the receiver.
  • The server's arm must be moving in an upward arc at the time the ball is struck and may be made with either a forehand or backhand motion.
  • The highest point of the paddle head must not be higher than the highest part of the wrist when it strikes the ball.
  • Contact with the ball must not be made above the wrist.
  • The Drop Serve
  • Servers must release the ball from one of the server's hands or dropped off the server's paddle face from any natural height and hit the ball after it bounces.
  • The ball shall not be propelled downward or tossed or hit upward with the paddle.
  • If the drop serve is used, the ball may be struck with either a forehand or backhand motion without any other restrictions ie the location restrictions of the ball and paddle do not apply.

Additional Info

Wow! I can't believe the season is over already. It was a quick and fun 7 weeks and it was such a pleasure having fun with all of you. LI-Kick is a big part of my life and I hope this season was an enjoyable experience.

Last night's games were a phenomenal way to finish out the season. We had four great teams battling it out on Court 1 & 2 to win the season. On court 1 Sue F. & Lisa O. won over Julie B. & Danielle F. to move onto the championship round. On court 2 Christine K. & Kristine M. won to move up to court 1. Court 1 championship games were as close as they could get. Game 1 went to Sue F. & Lisa O. 11-7. The winners of game 2 were Christine K. & Kristine M. in an 11-9 game. Sue & Lisa took home LI-Kick championship titles and duffel bags with a combined score of 20 just two points higher than Christine & Kristine's 18 points. Congrats to these two lovely and talented players for being LI-Kick's first women's only league champions!

Once again, thank you for showing up each week and playing your best. Life can get in the way and it's not always easy to show up. But, many of you showed up each week ready to play and I hope you had fun doing so. Hope to see ya out on the court sometime soon.
