The game was created in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, at the summer home of Joel Pritchard, who later served in the United States Congress and as Washington's lieutenant governor. [3] Pritchard and two of his friends, Barney McCallum and Bill Bell, are credited with devising the game and establishing the rules. Morgan, Bryce (February 8, 2021). "2021 PPA Tour Rules Update".

Singles: In singles, a server's score will always be even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...) when serving from the right service court and odd (1, 3, 5, 7, 9...) when serving from the left service court.

This only applies when you are volleying or hitting the ball in the air. You can step in after making a ground stroke. You can go into the NV-zone to get a ball that bounces in there first. You can stand in the NV-zone all day if you want, you just can not play the ball in the air. It is a fault if you step in even after the ball is missed or hit by the opponents.

After the serve, a fault occurs if a player steps in the non-volley court or on the non-volley line while making a volley shot. If the ball is hit into the net or other permanent object such as the pole, that is a fault. Joan grew up in Marietta, Ohio, and attended Marietta College. At that time, the school had one of the strongest crew programs in the country. Locals would all gather together to watch the races. Although Joan was never a racer, she was a loyal fan of the Marietta crew teams. Service must be made diagonally (as in tennis) and must bounce. The return of service must also bounce. Let’s say the game is tied at 3-3. If you start the serve (from the right side remember), you’ll announce “3-3-1,” so everyone knows you are the first player in rotation serving. Let’s say you’re serving. Your team has 2 points, and your opponent has 1. If you're the first one serving, you’ll announce: “2-1-1”

Because the court is roughly half the size of a tennis court, there is less of a burden in terms of real estate, which is also a factor in the rapid spread of the sport.

Doubles: At the beginning of a doubles game, the side serving first is only allowed one fault before their side is "out", called a side-out, and the serve passes to their opponent. After the first side-out of the game, each team is allowed two faults before a side-out is called, allowing each of the players on a doubles team to serve before the serve passes to the other team. A team's second server must continue alternating between the right and left service courts from wherever their partner left off. For example, if their partner's last serve was from the right service court, the second server must start serving on the left service court. After a side-out, the first serve is always initiated from the right serving area. Ah and one exception to this rule: the first player to serve in the game calls out "0-0-2". This is so the starting team only gets one serve. If both players served to start, the serving team would gain an unfair advantage over the returning team. Confused? We promise it’s easy once you start playing! Rule #9: First team to 11 points wins—but you must win by 2 Failing to hit the ball before it bounces twice is a fault. However, if the ball bounces twice off your paddle while you are making a continuous forward motion, this is legal. If the ball hits any part of your paddle hand, the hand below the wrist, is considered part to the paddle and legal.Singles: A side-out is called each time the serving side commits a fault. If the serving player's score is even (including zero), they must serve from the right, or even, service court; otherwise, they must serve from the left, or odd, service court. Depending on the current score, the first serve after a side-out can be from either the right or left service court. Add spin (advanced). By changing the angle of your wrist on your serve follow-through, you can put all kinds of spins on your serve. An unexpected spin can throw your opponents off guard, and cause unforced errors on the return. Eastern Grip: Hold the paddle in front of you by the paddle with your non-paddle hand so you are looking at the paddle's edge. Place your paddle hand on the face of the paddle. Slide your hand down the paddle face until you hold the handle in a handshake grip.

Once both players on a team lose their serve, the opposing team then gains the serve and can attempt to score points.While the game is less physically taxing than more intense sports, it is fast paced and stimulates the brain, which is another reason people have become so drawn to the sport. If you are receiving the serve but you or your partner are not ready, hold up your hand or paddle. If the server serves to you anyway, do not swing at the ball and call for a “let” serve because you were not ready. Returning the ball indicates you were ready and the point stands.

We update the map often and if you find any courts that we do not have listed here, please let us know so we can add it. In doubles, if the server loses a rally, their teammate (the second server) then serves, continuing in the same manner until they lose a rally. There is an exception on the very first service of the game, whereby only one of the serving pair gets to serve, before service is turned over. After both players on the team lose their serve, their opponents then continue to serve in the same manner.

Why the double bounce rule? It was created to prevent the serving team from gaining an unfair advantage. To summarize: The net is 36 inches (0.91m) high on the ends and 34 inches (0.86m) high at the center. The net posts should be 22 feet (6.7m) from the inside of one post to the inside of the other post. [37] Ball [ edit ]
