The Kitchen

The kitchen also known as the non-volley zone extends seven feet from both sides of the court.

The kitchen rules are simple:

  1. You can hit the ball inside the kitchen or non-volley zone only after the ball hits the surface inside the kitchen.

  2. Returning the ball from the air or volley is not allowed within the kitchen, it must first land on the surface.
On both sides of the court, beginners often do not think about the kitchen, so it is important that we all learn the kitchen rules.

What is Body Bagging in Pickleball?

What is Body bagging in pickleball?  A pickleball tactic known as body bagging involves hitting an opponent in the body with a ball that has accelerated off the bounce. It's regarded as pickleball's most deceptive tactic. Some argue that body bagging is not suitable for every game and that open-court play should prohibit targeting an opponent above the shoulder. They also say that continued body-bagging can make pickleball less accessible to new players.

What is Stacking in Pickleball?

In pickleball, the term "Stacking" describes a doubles strategy in which both players on a team line up on the same side of the court before a serve or return, enabling them to switch to their preferred side following the initial hit quickly. This is typically done to maximize their strengths and play from their dominant side throughout the point; normally, this means that one player stays primarily on the left side and the other on the right, regardless of who is serving or receiving.
