Cooperative pickleball
Play with each other,
not against.
The goal is simple: have fun and stay active together. Every shot is hit so your partner can return it. Longer rallies earn your team more points, and nobody wins or loses.
Fun and exercise
Enjoy moving, laughing, and time on the court together. That is the whole point, not beating anyone.
Hit it to be returned
Every shot is meant to be returned: comfortable, reachable, easy to play. A miss is no problem. Reset and keep rallying.
One team score, no winner
You score together: the longer your rally, the more points you both earn. No lobs or smashes, and let difficult balls go.
Your first rally starts here
Bring a partner, paddles, and a ball. Warm up and choose a comfortable pace.
Serve gently. Serve underhand, diagonally across the net. Let the serve bounce, and the return too. After that, play the ball in the air or after a bounce.
Let hard balls go. No lunging or chasing. Just start the next rally.
Rest when you like. Pause between rallies, and stop whenever either of you wants.
Normal pickleball rules for lines, bounces, and the kitchen (the no-volley zone next to the net) still apply. Our cooperative format changes the scoring and serving turns.
Read the basic rulesEase in. Play games. Wind down.
Each time you play has three simple parts. Play as many games as you like, and stop whenever you want.
5 minutes of gentle movement and an easy play style.
Each game is 10 minutes. Play as many as you want. Score as a team, using any style that keeps the rally going.
5 minutes of a relaxing play style, then a short walk and stretch.
Score as a team
In each 10-minute game, the longer your rally, the more points you both earn. Add up each game and watch your team score grow.
One long rally beats several short ones. 90 seconds is the top: hard to reach, but possible. Past that, there is no reason to push. Estimates are fine.
Same court. A shared purpose.
