How to Play Pickleball in 5 Minutes 

Awesome 5 minutes video guys, keep up the good work and thank you so much.

I'm going to an event this weekend with pickleball as one of the activities. This confirmed that I'll be sitting it out. Very thorough video, well done! I'm just very slow with this stuff. 😅 I'm still really impressed with the video and appreciate how well thought out it was. I might be able to understand what I'm watching better at the event! Thank you.

Thank you very much. Very well explain. I've seen other videos on RU-vid were they explained part of it. And left me puzzled. Im going to buy the pickleball set. And when I go to play I'll know all the rules. I never been inside a pickleball court. But I'm sure I'm gonna love it. Specially for the exercise. You guys ROCK!!! Very good teachers.❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Best explanation I have seen so far. Thank you.

Thanks for the explanation! My mom and I want to play and we got everything except the serving rules. That got a little confusing. But maybe it's one of those things where it makes sense when you are doing it.

This is great information!

I think I got it now, just bought some paddles off facebook and gonna try and play!

I get if the #1 server wins the first point, then #1 servers from the left side. If #1 server loses the point, then does the #2 server serve from the left side or the right side?

The best video explanation! Thank you! Also since using the Oliver-Sport paddle, my technique has gotten much better.

Clear as crystal. ❤ thank you… ❤❤❤

O M G I just started playing this week. I’m obsessed and good but the rules I do not understand lol I played sports my entire life and the rules to this game are so confusing to me 🫣😬🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll eventually get them, watching these videos?! Hopefully lol 🏓💪🏻 left side of the court my back hand is my weakness. Thank goodness we have tons of courts here in South FL so I can practice on the half court walls to help me with.

Excellent tutorial video. 🙏🏻

Best explanation so far. Thanks!

wheres the pickle?

I liked it.☮️🇺🇸

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="195">3:15</a>, is that an illegal serve? Contact of the ball seems high?

Does each player on a team need to alternate their returns? Or can player 1 return multiple shots in a row?

I know how to play pickle ball now

Great content and explanations!

The best video explanation! Thank you! You mentioned the the team must win by 2, what happened if the score is 10-10-1 (by 1)?

Okay my wife and I started to play and there are some questions I have. After watching a professional pickleball tournament on RU-vid some things I saw the pros do, do not align with what I have learned. Video I am referencing my concerns ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RARj0Xnebqc.html I was taught that when you serve you have to remain on your side and you must not be on your teammates side. However, I was again watching the pros and this woman was on her teammates side when she served. (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="242">4:02</a> mark in the attached video link) Lastly, I saw the same guy continuously going on his teammates side and returning the ball essentially not allowing her to hit it. I found it so rude and my wife and I were both confused by this. I didn't know why he didn't just let his teammate return the ball but instead he literally was way on her side in front of her stealing the return. What's up with that? (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="283">4:43</a> mark in the attached video link) His play was extremely annoying because he kept doing this. Are pickleball rules different from person to person or?

Great video, but one thing confuses me. If you lose a rally, why doesn't the other team score a point? In the example given, if it's 5-3-1 at the start of the rally and the serving team loses, when they switch servers, wouldn't it be 5-4-2, not 5-3-2?

Thanks! Do you always serve to the same landing box or do you switch to serving to the other side (opponent) after a point is scored like in tennis? Also, how many attempts when you are serving?

Bruh this is just the outdoor version of badminton. I thought I had to actually learn new skills to play this game, but looks like I can apply some, if not most, of my badminton skills here

I finally know what this is. I felt like i was the last person who didn't get it.

That was way more complicated than it needed to be

Pretty good video covering the basics in 5 minutes! It might have been better to say it is the Non volley zone, also referred to as the kitchen because the official name is the non volley zone, not visa versa. Showing the return and run and serve and stay is so important, and seeing it done on the video should help those that come from tennis and just stay back and never get to the nvz. At the end of the video when you explain the 0-0-2 , you say "server 2". Some might watch the video and think they would actually say zero zero server 2. Otherwise it is another good video.

How do you serve if you're left handed? Would it just be a back hand since it's not considered an underhand serve?

Once your first serve losing a point and it goes to the second server, does the second server serve his/her first point from the right side or the left side first?

So basically modified tennis rules with squash/badminton traditional scoring methodology. Questions; When can the kitchen zone be legally entered following a volley? Is sledging allowed? (Saying mean things to your opponent to gain psychological advantage) Is backhand serving allowed? I'm assuming overarm isn't legal.

Why do you say 0-0-2 at the beginning if the first server is on the right and is actually the 1 person serving. I hear this all the time but it makes No sense to me.😂

The serving rules seem unnecessarily complicated.

What is the difference between this and tennis

that dude in the white selkirk shirt in the background is GIGA handsome holy cow. also, excellent instruction, perfect video for showing people new to the sport :)

Why when a serving team lost a point the score didn’t go to 5-4 ? Around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="255">4:15</a> timestamp

That is a good chance to play pickleball,

Sooooo.... it's tennis. Only with a paddle instead of a racket.

You have a typo. It's opponent. Not Oppenent. Thanks for the video.

You never want to have a dinking error

0-0-1 im ready to play

If you are server 1 and on the right side of the court you score will always be even. Not 5-3-1,you said your score wrong or out of rotation. Otherwise great video. Thanks

The only thing I got confused on is non-volley zone. If you hit the ball BEFORE you land your front foot into the non-volley zone, that would be considered a 'foul' or 'end game'. Makes sense if your foot lands on the non-volley zone first and then you hit the ball back, that would be an 'losing' game for the rule breaker.

what if instead of pickle ball it was pickle rick ball and we played with pickle ricks you know whats instead lol...

So basically your a server thats not allowed in the kitchen. And before you serve your checking the table numbers. Use to be a waiter, any tips 😂

Cor blimey.... goodness gracious me.....what thaaa heck....I think I would get the hang of it better once I actually play the game... especially as I already play badminton...I got the kitchen bit and more tho... just from watching other videos. This explanation is a bit too long winded for me tho 👀

it's a mini version of Tennis

Nerfed tennis.

But this video is longer than 5 minutes

WHAT?

I left with more questions than answers 😂

So its basically team tennis for out of shape people who can't move much.

I'm gonna suck 😢😭

Americans are working really hard to not play tennis

Too many dumb rules, bye

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="785">13:5</a> [KJV]) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="567">9:27</a>) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="433">7:13</a>-14) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="613">10:13</a>)

So...... it's tennis for people with no athletic ability 😅

"Our goal is to be the most clear and concise video about how to play pickle ball..." = Editor ads obnoxious music and waste of time filler transitions 🤣🤣🤣

This is a game for all those people who got trophies as kids for participating, even when they didn't. Or is this just what naturally happens when you're in your 40s and you haven't lifted a finger for 2 decades?

It's just as bad as cornhole.
