Pickleball is a fun sport that is a combination of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but it can definitely develop into a fast-paced and competitive game for more experienced players!

There are just five main rules:

1. The ball must stay inbounds.
2. There should be one bounce per side.
3. Serving must be done at a baseline.
4. The server can’t land in the no-volley zone.
5. The game ends at 11, 15, or 21 points.

If you’re new to pickleball, come along anyway! Players of all experience levels are more than welcome to join the tournament and just have fun.
