Paddleball, also called "Padel", is played between two teams using a court that combines a Ping Pong court and a tennis court. You can play indoors and outdoors. The USA Pickleball Association regulates the game and it is rapidly becoming popular in Europe as well as Asia. There are more than 3000 courts in the world with players from all around the globe.
The game requires that players wear light colored clothing. A safety thong must be worn around the wrist. This thong must be securely attached to the handle of the paddle. The player cannot switch between his hands and the paddle. The player must use both his hands to strike a ball.
The game is played to a score of 11 or 15. A point is scored by the serving side only when it serves an ace, or when it wins a rally. Points can be lost if a teammate hits the ball and doesn't return it. The play will be re-recorded if the ball is hit with a foreign object. In certain instances, the referee may suspend play.
Play starts by tossing a coin. This will determine which team will serve the first. The coin toss winner may accept or decline the offer. Once the coin is tossed, the server needs to remain in the service area for at least 1 minute. The serve is given to the second server if the first team loses one point.
After the server serves, the opponent must call a block or safety. These calls can be a sign of fear of injury or to indicate that the opponent is in the path of the ball. If an opponent has obstructed the player's path, they must move. However, the opponent cannot stop the striker from moving if they are in the way of the ball. The striker can, however, move if an opposing player moves in the striker’s direction to prevent them from blocking the shot.
Players must strike the ball with a solid or textured paddle. The size of the paddle can affect the bounce of the ball. Some players use a solid paddle while others use a strung racquet. A player should allow the ball's bounce to occur before volleying.
A player must ensure that the ball does not touch their body while participating in a rally. If a player strikes the ball with a textured pad, they must not allow their hand to push the opponent's shot. Alternatively, the player can use his arm to push the opponent, but it must be a legal hit.
A referee is necessary for any tournament. The referee must be above the court's back wall, unless the opponent is seriously injured. The referee must be able to see all sides of court.
If the player is unable or unwilling to play, play will be stopped for fifteen minutes. If the first player is injured, another player may serve.
