The Non-Volley Zone or “Kitchen” is a special area on the pickleball court. This video will teach you all the rules for play in this area, and how to use the Kitchen to your advantage.
I love your video series as introduction to PB. Well made, great editing. However, this video is misleading. "You are only allowed in the kitchen if the ball bounces" is not correct. Any player can be in the kitchen at any time. The player is not allowed to volley the ball if they are in the kitchen. Subtle but important difference.
Was hoping for a quick simple video but you got the rule wrong lol. You can spend the entire game in the kitchen unless you are serving, it only matters if you volley. It's like offside position vs. a real offsides call in soccer.
if your momentum is toward kitchen, and you wait to step until the point ends, is that ok? though is that a bad strategy because the point ending isn't reliable? I mightve tried this on shots that usually end points. also I worry because in my local court, people don't call this and bringing up rules would be painful. I wonder what level of laxedness is good
