SPIKEBALL PICKLEBALL

There are holes in the boards and getting a bag in the hole will earn you three points. But be careful because if you go for the hole and knock a bag off you will lose that point. And if you happen to knock one of their bags into the hole then they get three points too. Games are played to 21 points.

WHAT’S UP IN THE KITCHEN

Pickleball has some similarities to tennis, however, there are some differences.To start off the game, the serving team must hit the ball from the baseline and do so in an underhand method. The ball must be hit past the kitchen area and bounce before the opposing team can play it back.

After the ball has bounced and the opposing team has returned it, the ball must bounce again before the serving team can hit it.

After this the ball is played in a similar way to tennis where teams take turns hitting it back and forth. Points are scored when the ball is either hit out of boundsor the ball hits the ground more than once. Keep in mind that only the serving team can score a point so if you aren’t serving, the ball will just go to you if you win the rally.

Games are played to 11 points and it is a win by two style of play, which means you have to have two more points than your opponent to win at 11 or beyond.
