At Pickleball last night we were able to introduce the sport to some friends of pickleball. Great athletes with a history of some court sports, but unaware of the most hardest rule to remember in Pickleball, the:
Double Bounce Rule. The serve and the service return must be allowed to bounce before striking the ball. That is, each side must play a groundstroke on the first shot following the serve. After the initial groundstrokes have been made, play may include volleys. Those with a raquet history have the tendency to charge the net or the ball, forgetting that important service/receiver rule of letting the ball bounce that second time. Anything after that is fair game...as long as you stay out of the Non-Volley Zone...which is another big thing to learn which we'll discuss next time.
