Pickleball Information
Pickleball has some new rules this year. Here are a few that may affect your recreational games:
Service lets have been eliminated.
You can start your service motion while the score is being called.
You can bounce the ball to hit a “Drop Serve.”
The server doesn’t have to call the score, but someone on the serving team does.
Lines calls have been simplified for the serve.
