Basic Overview


  • Court: Similar in size to a badminton court (20x44 feet), with a net slightly lower than a tennis net.
  • Equipment: Players use solid paddles (larger than ping-pong paddles) and a perforated plastic ball (similar to a wiffle ball).
  • Players: Can be played as singles or doubles.
  • Scoring: Games are typically played to 11 points, and you must win by 2. Only the serving team can score points.

Key Rules

  • Serve: Underhand, diagonally across the court, and must land in the opposite service box.
  • Double Bounce Rule: The ball must bounce once on each side before players can volley (hit it in the air).
  • Non-Volley Zone ("Kitchen"): A 7-foot area on both sides of the net where volleys are not allowed to prevent smashes close to the net.

Why it's popular

  • Low barrier to entry: Easy to pick up, even for beginners.
  • Social and inclusive: Great for families, seniors, and community play.
  • Fast-paced and strategic: Offers depth for competitive players.
