Pickleball
What’s Pickleball?
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States, most commonly played in doubles (2 vs. 2) on a court that’s half the size of a tennis court.
Players use large ping-pong–style paddles and a lightweight plastic ball, with simple rules that blend elements of tennis and ping pong, making it fun and accessible for all ages.
Both indoor and outdoor courts can be booked online, and equipment such as paddles and balls is available for rent at the facility.

What’s Pickleball?
Scoring
Game is played to 11, win by 2. Each team member gets to serve until they lose the point, with one exception, the team that serves first only gets 1 serve. The score is a series of 3 number; serving team score, receiving team score, server #1 or #2. Ex. 7-3-2 means serving team has 7 points, opposing team has 3 points and it is the second server about to serve.
Serving
Must serve underhand from behind the baseline, cross-court, into the service area past the kitchen. Only the serving team can score points.
Quirky Rules
After the serve, the receiving team must let the ball bounce, then the serving team must let that return bounce before hitting. After that the ball may be volleyed (hit in the air) or off the bounce. A player cannot strike the ball in the kitchen unless the ball bounces in the kitchen first.
