LetвЂ™s assume this team this team scores 2 points with their first server and then the team faults. They call the score as вЂњZero, two, oneвЂќ (my score 0, your score 2, and first server) This team gets a service sequence of two faults (that is, each person serves until their team makes a fault/fails to score a point). The opposing team begins their first serving sequence with the player who is standing on the right hand side of the court.When that first serving team faults, they transfer or вЂњsideoutвЂќ the serve to the opposing team.LetвЂ™s assume they score 2 points and then fault in some way. You never serve to the same person or serving box twice in a row. After scoring a point, the server always re-positions to serve to the other court (changing places with their partner) for the next serve.The team member serving the initial serve of the game calls the score as вЂњZero, Zero, TwoвЂќ meaning I have 0 points, you have 0 points, and I am the only server for this sequence so IвЂ™m the 2nd server.The server always starts in the right-hand court and must serve crosscourt (to the backcourt diagonally opposite and beyond the non-volley zone line).For the team that starts the game, only one person gets to serve.After the initial groundstrokes have been made, play may include volleys. That is, each side must play a groundstoke on the first shot following the serve. 4.H) The serve and the service return must be allowed to bounce before striking the ball. The Two-Bounce Rule (USAPA Double Bounce Rule ref. If your serve hits either of your opponents before bouncing, it is a point for your team.If a вЂњletвЂњ serve hits the partner of the person receiving the serve before touching the court surface, the serve will be replayed as a let.A serve striking the net and landing within the service court is called a вЂњletвЂќ and another serve is justified with no limit to the number of times this can occur.The server must have at least one foot on the court surface behind the baseline on or within the imaginary lines extending from the centerline and the sideline at the time the ball is struck.The serve must be made with an underhand stroke so that contact with the ball is made below the waist level (navel) tip of paddle head below wrist arm moving in an upward arc.There are other formats that may be used and are explained by USAPA. Games are normally played to 11 points and win by 2.Points are scored by legally serving a ball that is not returned by the opponent or by winning the rally.Only the serving team can score points.Pickleball is a simple paddle game played with a baseball-sized wiffleball over a tennis-type net on a Badminton-sized court.
