Pickleball Rules You SHOULD Know  

Yelling at a woman to get out of the kitchen is kind of ironic.

Great video. If everyone called it the non-volley zone instead of the kitchen I think most of the confusion would be avoided.

Might still be bad strategy to stand in there lol

The problem is when your opponent hits a line drive that would land in and you are standing in the kitchen...

That dent in the top left leg has a story

Im not sure i understand the part of the rule that says "as long as the player doesn't exit the kitchen after the ball bounces" So does that mean that i cannot retreat and chase the ball down if i was standing in the kitchen when it bounced?

Not me randomly coming across this short and wondering why she's talking about hitting a ball in her kitchen when she's talking about standing on a court! LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes that makes sense. it’s just not mostly as advantageous and maybe too close to create a pop up but it might be needed at times I guess

Can you bounce the ball of the ground on serves??

I can’t leave the kitchen after returning the ball from there? What if the ball looks like it would land in the kitchen but I scoop hit it from below and over the net and never step inside lol

Is that Groveview Park??

You can stand in the kitchen as much as you like at any time unless you’re serving as long as you don’t hit the ball out of the air while you’re in there or forward momentum brings you in after the volley. Common cases when this is advantageous are when stepping in to return a short dink or when a lob is going to land in the kitchen you have lots of time to stand next to the net, wait for the bounce, and slam it while standing in the kitchen.

its not a suprise they dont want to get out of them kitchen

But people can just hit it higher so you have to volley it

Not any more you have to reset out of the kitchen every time it is in there

I didn’t understand the last part where she says now this is illegal at the end of the video. What was illegal?

It’s not against the rules to stand in the kitchen; it’s just a really bad idea. Now there’s the “out ball bait”: you get a really soft dink close to the net. You stay in the kitchen to get them to hit it at you. You anticipate the shot and move out of the way because the angle and strength send it out. It’s an old trick and no one falls for it anymore, but if my opponent is speeding up too often from the line, I know I can pull one off.

Now I get it

I don't know what kitchen is. I just heard of this game.

It's a no-volley zone, not a no-standing zone

What happened to not being able to step into the kitchen until the ball bounces?

This game seems to attract alot of karen-types, not sure why

Confusing. What if you hit a volley and land in the kitchen? Why is it then a violation?

yes, most beginners are scared to be there, while you cant only play volley being there, thats all

I didn't realize that you could play a ball that bounced outside of the kitchen from within the kitchen. Makes sense now though.

It sucks, that you always have to clarify the rule. It must make you not want to play anyomre, since you always have to be the clarify

Too risky though. Less reaction time if you float it a little. A good player will hit it right back at you.

doesnt the ball have to bounce in the kitchen in order for you to be able to step into the kitchen to return it?

Interesting. I was "taught" that you could hit a ball while in the kitchen ONLY IF it bounces IN the kitchen. But clearly this is not what the rule says, and your video shows a ball bouncing outside the kitchen being returned while you are in the kitchen. So basically, if someone is in the kitchen, hit the ball right at them and win the point!

wouldn’t standing there put you at a disadvantage tho? i mean cool loop hole n everything but in a tournament you’d get cooked by the other team

I have seen other official rules that state that no one can be in the kitchen at all, even if your momentum causes you to step in.

This game is bullshit..either play tennis or badminton 😂

is it frowned upon to be taking big swings up close?

(Revelation 20:11-15)And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11-15)

Don’t you have to reset out the after the hit for the next drop?

IMO you need to take a step back before dinking it back as you are off balance.

The third return is actually not legal. Her feet were not firmly set outside the kitchen before she hit the ball that landed outside the kitchen.

No it is called a foot fault when yku step in

Actually, I played Pickleball as a associate fun ability game twice a week nightly. BUT your not allow to stand in the kitchen line aka the non-volley line, it's because it's not fair for other plays in the games including competition Pickleball games and also you ONLY allow to step in the kitchen line (NVL) when the ball bounce in it. You cannot jump in but can jump on the side line next to the kitchen line. I've played Pickleball for around 2 months yet still a beginner. Still learning, yes but this video of the lady is saying the rule wrong about the step in kitchen line. Not saying in professional way, it'll be a foot fault. Thanks and love y'all!

You can’t stand in the kitchen

Love it
