The rules of pickleball are similar to those of tennis, but only serve to score points (similar to badminton).

In addition, the serve must be hit from the underhand (under the waist); both sides must volley to intercept the opponent's ball after the ball has landed on their own court. Pickleballs are designed to allow everyone present to be active. Pickleball is a game of where the ball falls, a game of patience; it is not a game of strength and brute force. In the batting rules, it is forbidden to volley the opponent's ball in the 7-foot area in front of the net, which helps to reduce excessive smashing in front of the net.
