Official Pickleball Rules

We've had a number of requests for information as to where one can find a copy of The Official Pickleball Rules.

We attempted to make it available from our site; however, in order to make sure that only the most recent version is made available, we were directed by the authors of the rules to please direct all inquiries to the USAPA site.

There, you can currently find a downloadable pdf version as well as be able to purchase a hardcopy version if you like.
