Come out and play Pickle ball in the Park! ---PAGE BREAK--- Playing Pickle ball Pickle ball is a simple paddle game played using a special perforated, slow-moving wiffle ball over a tennis type net and smaller court. The ball is served underhand without bouncing it off the court and is served diagonally to the opponent’s service court Points are scored by serving side only and occur when the opponent faults ( fails to return ball, hits ball out of bounds, etc.) The serve continues to serve, alternat- ing service courts, until the serve faults. The first side scoring 11 points and leading by at least 2 point margin wins. For example, it both sides are tied at 10 points, then play continues until one side wins by 2 points. Double Bounce Rule: Following serve, each side must make it least one ground stroke, hitting the ball after it bounces, before volleyball the ball. Non Volley Zone: A player cannot volley a ball while standing within the non-volley zone.
