Greystones Pickleball

What Is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a fun and fast-growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis.

It is played with paddles and a lightweight plastic ball on a smaller court, making it easy to learn and enjoyable for players of all ages.

Basic Rules

Pickleball is usually played as doubles, although singles can also be played.

• Games are typically played to 11 points
• You must win by 2 points
• Serves are underarm
• The ball must bounce once on each side after the serve
• The kitchen area prevents close-range volleys

How to Play

The game begins with an underarm serve hit diagonally across the court.

Players work together to control rallies, move towards the kitchen line, and use placement and strategy to win points.
