If the gym or facility you wish to frequent allows pickleball play - please do so responsibly - masks when not on the court, physical distancing, limited players in your group, hand sanitizing, do not play if you are not feeling well, etc. Walter Knecht - President PICKLEBALLBC Karen Watson - Vice-President PICKLEBALLBC Holiday greetings from JoAnne Bentley of the Sunshine Coast Pickleball Association: Two of the more significant rule changes that will take place in 2022 are:
Spin Serves In 2022, a player can spin the ball before striking it on the serve, but only one hand at a time can contact the ball before the ball is hit. No foreign substances, material, apparatus, or additional body parts can be applied to the hand or aid the hand that releases the pickleball. The Drop Serve No changes were made to the drop serve other than to remove its Provisional status. To see other changes and a draft of the 2022 Rule Book click here. |
