Just When You Think You Know the Rules to Pickleball…

Your calendar for next week’s pickleball match shows that 2022 is on the horizon. Another year has passed with many cracked pickleballs. But you’ve finally gotten the 2021 rules solidly under your belt, right?

What you may not know is that the end of the calendar also means the USPA Rules Committee is close to finalizing the 2022 rule changes…YAY!!!  …but what are the changes?

To help you prepare for the 2022 rules, Coach Ben Lacy (also our resident Head Referee) has put together a summary of the changes. Along with the summary, Coach Ben also provided a companion video and organized the changes by recreational play and tournament play.

So please follow the links and get updated on the USAP rule changes so you are not caught short in the kitchen.

You can also get your own pdf copy of the DRAFT 2022 rules here:
