Here are the following guides:

• Pickleball is played on a court that is 20 feet by 44 feet, which is smaller than a tennis court, and the same size as a badminton court.
• The net is placed 36 inches high in the middle of the court.
• There are two or four players. Two people play singles and four people play doubles.
• You use a paddle and a plastic ball with holes in it.
• The object of the game is to hit the ball over the net into your opponent’s court. You earn a point if they are unable to return it.
• You can only score points when you are serving the ball.
• A player serves the ball by hitting it underhand over the net into the service box of their opponent diagonally across from them.
• On a serve, the ball must bounce twice – once before the receiver returns it and then before it is returned by the server.
• After the ball is returned by the server, players can hit it in the air (volley) or let it bounce before hitting it.
• The server then alternates between left and right service boxes after each point is made. Players switch sides after each game.
• The first team to score 11 points wins the game. If the score is tied at 10-10, then the first team to win two more points wins the game.
