Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 http://www.pickleball.com/Rules.aspx http://www.usapa.org/whatis_pball/index.php Court is about half the size of tennis court, or actual size of badminton court. Play like tennis as far as serving, except serve underhanded. Paddle instead of racquet. Ball is a whiffleball (baseball size). Only score when you're serving. Play to 11, win by 2. Lots of volleying, often extended, since smaller court. Anyway, great fun, and can be played by those not fast enough for racquetball or tennis (like old farts like me). Of course I play those too, but will now be focusing on pickleball since it is best for me at present, plus don't have to pay extra like would for racquetball. Probably more than you ever wanted to know. But it is becoming increasingly popular as a family game as well as an " old farts game " . Even those who've never played any other racquet/paddle sports pick it up very quickly. dan Friday, February 5, 2010, 6:06:20 AM, you wrote: > now what the heck is pickleball???????????? -- " It's OK to be a little broken, everybody's broken in this life " Jon Bon Jovi Dan Lester, St. , Utah, USA www.riverofdata.com/lapband Banded 4/27/03, Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana Started at 355, at goal in the 210-220 range for almost 4 years Ultimate goal of 195 Tummytuck in Boise and SmartLipo in Tijuana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
