Pickleball
How to play pickleball
Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court (20' x 44') with a net height of 36" at the sidelines and 34" at the center. Each end of the court has a 7’ area called the non-volley zone (or 'kitchen') where players aren’t allowed to hit volleys (a shot hit out of the air).
Types of shots in pickleball
Let's go over some of the shots you can make in pickleball:
Drives
These powerful shots are hit off the bounce, often from the baseline. They are played using a forehand or backhand swing.
Drop Shots
Played at the back of the court, these shots aim to land in the opponent’s kitchen to keep them from attacking.
Dinks
Like a drop shot but played closer to the net, these touch shots are hit into your opponent’s kitchen and help keep the other team from attacking.
Volleys
These shots are hit out of the air before the ball bounces. They can only be played outside the kitchen.
Lobs
These shots are hit high into the air to move opponents away from the kitchen.
Overheads
Shots hit above the head with a tennis serving motion, used to attack lobs before they bounce
