For the lawyers and the purists: here’s the official USA Pickleball Rulebook. But don’t worry—we’ve boiled it down below so you don’t need a law degree to play.
The ‘kitchen’ (aka the non-volley zone) is the strip right by the net. You can step in after the ball bounces, but if you volley in there - instant fault.
