Caught the pickleball bug? You’re not alone! This easy, fast-paced paddle sport is taking over Singapore. Here are the best pickleball courts in Singapore, including free and cheap places to play pickleball from $3.30/hour!

It’s a bit like badminton, but without the constant smashes, and a bit like tennis, but without the heavy racket. Pickleball is the sport that’s now Singapore’s favourite! And yes, it’s totally kid-friendly! Read on for all the best pickleball courts in Singapore plus prices (we’ve found free and cheap pickleball courts from as low as $3.30 per hour!).

What is pickleball?

Simply put, pickleball is a unique blend of badminton, table tennis, and tennis, combining the best of each sport, which is why it’s easily gaining traction in Singapore. Played in singles or doubles, it uses solid-faced paddles and a lightweight perforated plastic ball. No need to feel intimidated—pickleball is perfect for all ages! Played on a badminton-sized court with a low net (like tennis) and a lightweight, perforated ball, this sport offers a slower ball speed, making pickleball an ideal sport for beginners and younger players. Kids, especially, can develop their coordination and confidence without feeling overwhelmed.

Rules of pickleball: How to play pickleball

Pickleball Singapore rules:

We’ve been saying this quite a bit, but playing pickleball in Singapore doesn’t have to be intimidating, and it is really easy to pick up, making it a great sport for all ages. Here are some terms that you should know before you start playing:

1. Court and equipment: One of the great things about pickleball is that you don’t need a dedicated court to play! You can set up on a rectangular court (like a badminton court) with a low net. Grab some pickleball paddles and a perforated plastic ball, and you’re ready to go!

2. Serving: Start playing pickleball by serving underhand from the right side of the court, aiming diagonally to the opponent’s service box, which is the area where the pickleball ball needs to land. Just make sure the ball clears the non-volley zone (or kitchen) and lands in the opposite court!

3. Volleying: In pickleball, volleying refers to the action of hitting the ball before it bounces on the court. It has to occur while the ball is in the air, after it has crossed the pickleball net.

4. Non-Volley Zone (Kitchen): The area near the pickleball net is called the kitchen. When volleying, players need to stay out of this zone. Note that the terms “non-volley zone” and “kitchen” refer to the same area and are often used interchangeably in pickleball!

5. Double Bounce Rule: After the first serve, the pickleball ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can start volleying.

6. Scoring: In pickleball, only the serving team can score points. Games are usually played to 11, 15, or 21 points, and you must win by at least two points to claim victory.

7. Rotating Servers: Remember when we said only the serving team scores? Here’s the fun part: Every time the serving team scores a point, they rotate service. In doubles, both pickleball players on a team get a turn to serve before switching sides.

8. Faults: A fault happens when the ball goes out of bounds, into the pickleball net, or when a player volleys from the non-volley zone.
