Pickleball Rules

The same dimensions are used for both singles and doubles pickleball.  All lines are considered “in” with the exception of the non-volley zone line on a serve.

The USAP 2026 Official Rulebook is valid starting 1/1/2026.

See the 2026 change document for changes made in 2026.

If you’re interested in testing your rules knowledge, you can take a sample quiz on the USAPA website.  The quizes contain 50 multiple choice and true/false questions.  You are given 50 minutes to complete the test.
