Summary of the Game

The game is played on a badminton-sized court: 22’ x 44’. The ball is served diagonally and points can only be scored by the side that serves. A 7’ no volley zone on each side of the net, otherwise known as the “kitchen”, brings an added challenge to the game. The first side scoring 11 points and leading by at least two points wins!
