Best beginner rule video I have seen..... but you need to address the "even" and "odd" rules on 4.8.6b. In other words it is not always the person that happens to be on the right after a side out that serves first. Somethimes people swap sides during a volley so and forget which side they started on. The person that started the game on the right is designated as the "even" player and always serves first if their teams' score is an even number after a side out. The person that started the game on the left is the "odd" player and always serves first if their teams' score is an odd number after a side out. To be clear - service always begins on the right box - it's just a matter of making sure the right player is serving.

Thanks pickleball guy! I've read the USA pickleball rules but never played tennis so didnt really understand what a volley was. I had it explained to me as you couldn't hit overhand/attack in the kitchen so thats how i been explaining it to other people. Now i will just send them this vid!

Great video. You explained the rules perfectly. I found out you need to know all the rules before you play. I was invited to play pickleball with a causal, fun group of people only it was anything but fun because they didn’t tell me to learn the rules first. They would get frustrated at my mistakes and took advantage of me not knowing the rules. So once I learn the rules and how to play better I’ll go back.

So far, the best video! Thank you for the information! You should make a video on pickleball etiquette, such as how to start a game when you first arrive at the courts( placing your paddles on the floor near the net starting from the left side, how to figure out with court is for beginners or advanced, and how you would introduce each other before games or touch paddles after a game. I was utterly lost my first time playing at the courts.😂😂😂 Even though it was a little embarrassing everyone was so friendly and helpful.

overall this is a great summary of the basic rules of pickleball! in regards to serving positions, here is the actual wording from the 2023 USAPA Rules of Pickleball: "DOUBLES 4.B.6.b. When the team’s score is even (0, 2, 4 ...), the team’s starting server’s correct position is at the right/even serving area. When the team’s score is odd (1, 3, 5...), the starting server’s correct position is at the left/odd court." for this reason pay close attention to everyone's position at the start of the game. in your example, K is the starting server for his team, J is the starting server for his team. after every side out if the score is even for the serving team, K or J will serve first. if the score is odd then W or T serve first.

Something you should have included which helped me is to mention that at the start of the game the player on the right side will always have an even score when on the right, and the left player will always have an even score when on the left. Opposite if the score is odd. The reason this is helpful is if someone forgets the score you can figure it out again hopefully by the side of the court you are on. I'm sure this has been expressed more simply, but that's it for now. Don't know if stacking messes that up or not though.

This video is very helpful. Oddly I had already watched it a couple weeks ago but at the time a lot of the terms were new and I still hadn't played the game on the court yet (only 'dinking' ) So this is more helpful and I'm willing to bet that in a couple of more weeks it may seem like a new video all over again due to learning more and incorporating what I learn.
