Fun Fact Pickleball Rule:
Did you know that if Esteban in green is legally in the dark blue area of the court but touching Jesus in red, and Esteban hits a volley, he is illegally in the kitchen! Even though he is physically outside the kitchen, his foot is touching Jesus who is in the kitchen so it’s a kitchen fault and they lose the point!
Stay tuned for more updates as we serve up more opportunities for you to play!
See you on the courts
