Basic Court Setup
Step 1: Unwind the boundary cord and layout on
the playing area. This cord is pre-measured, with
red sewn-in center court markers and 4 grommeted
corner holes. Insert the bungee ball cords into the
corner grommets and secure with plastic ground
stakes. (Diagram A)
Step 2: Layout the poles. Both the top and bottom
poles are used for paddleball. Attach the poles by
inserting the top into the bottom, pressing the
locking button. Click in place. Only the bottom poles
are used for pickleball.
Step 3: Layout the net exposing the 2 end sleeves.
Slide the pole through the net sleeves.
Step 4: For paddleball, attach the guyline s-hooks
through the top pole’s eyebolt. For pickleball, attach
the guyline s-hooks through the hole at the top of
the pole.
Step 5: Holding the pole upright, extend the
guylines out from the pole at 45-degrees in both
directions, securing with the attached metal ground
stakes. For maximum tension, pull on guyline
tension knobs to tighten. (Diagram B)
Step 6: Loop the yellow rope at the top of the net
over the top of the pole, above the s-hook. Tighten
rope to prevent net from sagging. (Diagram C)
* Pole maintenance: separate the pole sections and
remove any dirt, debris and sand to prevent poles
from jamming. Store all equipment in the handy,
zippered equipment bag.

Multi-Court Pickleball/ Paddleball Combo Game Set
Diagram A

Pickleball is played either as doubles (two players per team)
or singles; doubles is most common. The same size playing
area and rules are used for both singles and doubles.
The Serve
Players use a coin toss to determine who will serve first. The
winner of the coin toss will have the option to choose side or
to serve or receive.
The serve must be made underhand.
Paddle contact with the ball must be below the server’s waist
(navel level).
The serve is initiated with at least one foot behind the
baseline; neither foot may contact the baseline or court until
after the ball is struck.
The serve is made diagonally crosscourt and must land
within the confines of the opposite diagonal court.
Only one serve attempt is allowed, except in the event of a
let (the ball touches the net on the serve and lands on the
proper service court; let serves are replayed).
Service Sequence
Both players on the serving doubles team have the
opportunity to serve and score points until they commit a
fault *(except for the first service sequence of each new
game).
The first serve of each side-out is made from the right-hand
court.
If a point is scored, the server switches sides and the server
initiates the next serve from the left-hand court.
As subsequent points are scored, the server continues
switching back and forth until a fault is committed and the
first server loses the serve.
When the first server loses the serve the partner then serves
from their correct side of the court (except for the first
service sequence of the game*).
The second server continues serving until his team commits
a fault and loses the serve to the opposing team.
Once the service goes to the opposition (at side out), the
first serve is from the right-hand court and both players on
that team have the opportunity to serve and score points
until their team commits two faults.
In singles the server serves from the right-hand court when
his or her score is even and from the left when the score is
odd.
*At the beginning of each new game only one partner on the
serving team has the opportunity to serve before faulting,
after which the service passes to the receiving team.
Scoring
Points are scored only by the serving team.
Games are normally played to 11 points, win by 2.
Tournament games may be to 15 or 21, win by 2.
When the serving team’s score is even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) the
player who was the first server in the game for that team will
be in the right-side court when serving or receiving; when
odd (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) that player will be in the left-side court
when serving or receiving.
Double-Bounce Rule
When the ball is served, the receiving team must let it
bounce before returning, and then the serving team must let
it bounce before returning, thus two bounces.
After the ball has bounced once in each team’s court, both
teams may either volley the ball (hit the ball before it
bounces) or play it off a bounce (ground stroke).
The double bounce rule eliminates the serve and volley
advantage and extends rallies.
Non-Volley Zone
The non-volley zone is the court area within 7 feet on both
sides of the net.
Volleying is prohibited within the non-volley zone. This rule
prevents players from executing smashes from a position
within the zone.
It is a fault if, when volleying a ball, the player steps on the
non-volley zone, including the line and/or when the player’s
momentum causes them or anything they are wearing or
carrying to touch the non-volley zone including the
associated lines.
It is a fault if, after volleying, a player is carried by
momentum into or touches the non-volley zone, even if the
volleyed ball is declared dead before this happens.
A player may legally be in the non-volley zone any time other
than when volleying a ball.
The non-volley zone is commonly referred to as “the
kitchen.”
