With a goofy name and terms like picklers (pickleball players), the kitchen (no-volley zone), dillball (an inbound shot that has bounced once), dink shot (soft shot that goes over the net and falls into the kitchen), falafel (a short shot due to hitting the ball with little or no power), and more, just the idea of playing pickleball sounds like fun. The relatively new sport boasts more than 4.8 million picklers nationwide and has grown nearly 40% during the past two years. It was named the fastest-growing sport in America for the second year in a row by the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. A mix of tennis, badminton and pingpong, the game was invented by Congressman Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell and Barney McCallum in 1965. Joel and Bill, having returned from playing golf one summer afternoon, arrived home to find their families bored with nothing to do. They scrounged up miscellaneous equipment — pingpong paddles and a perforated plastic ball — and began playing on an old badminton court. Throughout the course of the weekend, they lowered the net height from 60 inches to 36 inches and discovered that the ball bounced nicely on an asphalt surface. The next weekend, Barney joined the group, and the three men created the rules that would become pickleball. For many years, there was some controversy surrounding how pickleball got its name. Joan Pritchard, wife of Joel and an avid rower, came up with the name as a reference to the pickle boat of crew races, often composed of leftover rowers thrown together after the teams were picked and typically coming in last. However, many believed the game was named after the Pritchard family dog, Pickles. This theory has since been debunked, as Pickles the dog didn’t join the family until three years after the game was invented. The dog was actually named after the game, not the other way around, but it is often still told as a fun story of how the game got its quirky name. Rules of the Game Pickleball can be played both indoors and outdoors on a badmintonsized court and with a modified tennis HOW net. Players use solid paddles to volley a plastic ball with holes. It can be played as singles or doubles, and first serve is determined by a coin toss. Below are the basic rules for playing the game. • The ball must stay in bounds. Like pingpong, if you hit the ball out of bounds, you lose your serve and give the ball to the other team. • Once served, the ball must bounce once per side. When you serve to the other side, the ball must bounce once on your side. If you let it bounce twice, it is returned to the other team. After the serve, the other team must return the ball with only one bounce. Once the ball is returned after a single bounce, the rule is completed and either side can play the ball in the air or let it bounce moving forward on that turn. • Picklers must serve at the baseline. One foot must be behind the baseline during a serve, and the serve must be underhand with the ball held below the waistline and served diagonally to the opposing side. • A serve cannot land in the novolley zone. The no-volley zone is inside the lined box 7 feet from the net on both sides of the court. It is often called the kitchen line. “Stay out of the kitchen” means to avoid the novolley zone. After the serve, you can hit the ball into the kitchen, called a drop-shot. • Points are scored by the serving side only. Points are gained when the opposing side gets a fault — such as failing to return the ball, hitting out of bounds or into the net, or if a ball is volleyed from the kitchen. • The game ends at 11 or 15 points. Traditionally, the game ends www.SouthwestOrlandoBulletin.com x October 20 — November 2, 2022 x 5 TO ... Play Pickleball by Lauren Salinero Pickleball is an easy-to-play game that combines tennis, badminton and pingpong. at 11 points, but like volleyball and tennis, a team must win by at least 2 points, meaning the game could go further than 11. When playing to 11, teams switch sides of the court when the first team hits 6 points. We see things through your eyes. Michael Wytiaz, CFP ® Branch Leader 4848 S.
