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.
