When it comes to Pickleball, the rules of service dictate how the ball must be served and returned. Here are some key points:

• Service Order: In Pickleball, the team that wins the coin toss gets to choose either to serve first or to receive first.
• Service Motion: The server must have at least one foot behind the back boundary line and the ball must be hit underhand with a downward motion.
• Service Height: The ball must be served over the non-volley zone (also known as the “kitchen”) and must clear the net without touching it.
• Service Zone: The server has the option to serve from either the right or left service area, and they must serve diagonally to the opponent’s service area.
• Double Bounce Rule: In Pickleball, each team must let the ball bounce once before it is hit back over the net. This rule applies only to the first shot of each rally.
• Service Faults: A service fault occurs when the server commits an error during the serve, such as serving out of turn, hitting the ball out of bounds, or hitting the ball into the net on the serve. When a fault is committed, the opponent scores a point.
• Service Change: In Pickleball, service changes after every game and after every 2 points in a game to 11.

These are the basic rules of service in Pickleball. It’s important to follow these rules in order to play a fair and competitive game.
