This adjustment was made because even the fastest pickleball players move slower on soft surfaces like grass and sand!
Because a pickleball doesn’t bounce on grass or sand, Sandy Pickle is a volley-only game. We raised the net to head-height in order to keep the ball in the air longer.
The pickleball restriction for entering the “kitchen” doesn’t apply in a game with no-bounces; Sandy Pickle replaces the kitchen with a slightly smaller area called the “no-spike zone”.
Imagine the possibilities if your partner could save your mis-hits! With Sandy Pickle, one pass is allowed, even if it is unintentional!
Because we believe this part of the game should be more fun, Sandy Pickle gives the server freestyle freedom. Ask us about the moon ball!
Do you ever get confused trying to remember who’s serve is it, what side of the court you should be serving from, what the score is, and/or how to accurately call out 3 numbers on every point? Apologies to the avid pickleball players…for the rest of our players, we prefer to KISS.
