Badminton and tennis players usually serve overarm, which helps to give them more power. In pickleball, however, players are expected to serve underarm instead. As with tennis, the player that has the serve is expected to serve from the baseline, and diagonally to the opposing service court. Another notable difference is that there is a no volley zone on either side of the net.

Points can only be scored by the team that served, and each team will retain the serve until they commit a fault. To win the game, the winning team will have to have at least 11 points and a 2-point lead over their opponents.
