Paddle ball, or "Padel", is a game played between two teams on a court that is a combination of a tennis and Ping-Pong court. You can play indoors and outdoors. The USA Pickleball Association regulates and the game is quickly becoming popular in Europe & Asia. There are more than 3,000 courts worldwide with players from all over the world.
Light colored clothing is required for the game. Players should also wear a safety wrap around their wrists. The thong must be secured to the paddle's handle. The player may not switch the paddle between his hand and his body. The player must use both of his hands to strike the ball.
The game can be played up to 11 or 15 point. 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. If the ball gets hit by any foreign object, the play will be stopped and the ball replayed. In some cases, the referee will stop the play.
Play begins with the tossing of a coin. The coin will be used to determine which team serves first. The coin toss winner has the option to accept or reject the offer. Once the coin toss is decided, the server has to stand in a service zone for at least one minute. The second server will take the serve after the first team has lost a point.
After the server serves, the opponent must call a block or safety. These calls can indicate fear of injury, or that the opponent is in danger. If an opponent blocks the ball's path, they must be moved. But the opponent cannot prevent the striker from moving. Alternately, if an opponent moves in the striker's direction, the striker may move to stop them from blocking the shot.
Players must strike the ball with a solid or textured paddle. The ball bounce can be affected by the size of the paddle. Some players use an unbroken paddle, while others use a strung-racquet. The player should allow the ball to bounce before they start volleying.
A player should not allow the ball to touch their body during a rally. A player who strikes the ball using a textured paddle cannot use their hand or push against the opponent's shot. You can also use your arm to push your opponent, but that must be a legal hit.
In a tournament, a referee is required. The referee must remain above the back wall of court, unless an opponent is injured. The referee should be able see all sides of the court from his position.
If a player is unable continue play, it will be immediately suspended for fifteen minutes. If the server is incapacitated, a second player may be summoned to take over.
