Welcome to Our Pickleball Guide!

Discover the excitement of Pickleball at Whispering Winds. This fantastic paddle sport combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis to create a unique and enjoyable experience for players of all ages and skill levels.

What do you need to play?

 To play Pickleball, you only need a few essential items. We provide Pickleball paddles for all players, but if you have your own paddle, feel free to bring it along. Additionally, we’ll supply the balls, so all you need to do is bring yourself and your enthusiasm to have a fantastic time on the court! The Pickleball court has specific dimensions and is divided into different sections. Players must stay within the court boundaries during the game to ensure fair play and maintain the flow of the game.

The Rules

  1. Serve Properly: Start each point with a serve hit diagonally to the opponent’s service court.
  2. Double Bounce Rule: After the serve, both teams must let the ball bounce once on each side before volleys are allowed.
  3. Non-Volley Zone (Kitchen): The area closest to the net is the non-volley zone, and you cannot volley the ball while standing in this area.
  4. Stay In Bounds: Pay attention to the court boundaries; hitting the ball out of bounds results in the loss of a point.
  5. Scoring: Points can only be scored by the serving team, and games are usually played to 11 points, with a win by a margin of at least two points.
  6. Switch Sides: Players must switch sides after every game.
