In 2025 the rulebook now requires you to call balls out on your partner whenever you clearly see they land out of bounds. This applies to line calls, foot-faults and net touches. Sharing this calling duty keeps everyone honest, reduces disputes and makes every match more fun.

Multi-sport complexes with lounges are booming. Community-focused clubs for the 50+ crowd are expanding rapidly. Live-streamed matches and AI-driven coaching tools are reshaping how players train and fans watch.

Start with a polymer-face paddle, a dozen outdoor balls, court-specific non-marking shoes and moisture-wicking athletic wear. After ten hours of play, add overgrips, a paddle cover and a dedicated duffel bag to protect your kit.

Focus on soft hands and minimal backswing at a low contact point. Stand close to the kitchen line, bend your knees, and tap the ball over the net. Drill against a wall for 100 consecutive dinks then practice cross-court rallies with a partner.

Measure from palm crease to ring-finger tip plus ½″ for grip size. Light paddles (<7.5 oz) offer control, midweights (7.6–8.4 oz) balance power and finesse, and heavy paddles (>8.5 oz) add pop but need stronger wrists.

Begin with 50 wall volleys without letting the ball drop. Move to serve-return sets—serve 20 balls and practice deep returns. Finish with cross-court dink rallies to hone placement, footwork and consistency.
