Pickleball Rules Refresher: Laser beam NVZ

Okay, so this is a further add-on to another post I did covering the NVZ (Non Volley Zone or Kitchen.) Some racquetball converts to pickleball were unclear of the NVZ line, because of raquetball rules. In raquetball on the serve apparently, your hand or racquet can't be over the NVZ line, or it will be declared a fault. So the raquetball converts questioned if in pickleball they too would be at fault reaching into the NVZ. In Pickleball you can reach into the NVZ, over the line, you just can't step into the NVZ, have an article of your clothing fall into the NVZ while volleying the ball. There is no laser beam or lightsaber that chops off your hand where the NVZ line is! Phew! But wouldn't that make the game more interesting?

  1. Thanks for this post, Grant!
    I had a lengthy discussion today with one of our better players regarding this specific rule.
