And Why They Are Important
"No sport can be played without rules."
Rules are the foundation for an organized sport to be played under the same standards for everyone throughout the world.
The original USAPA organization published the first pickleball rulebook in March 1984. When the USAPA re-established and re-incorporated in 2005, the book was reviewed and amended to resemble the rules used today. Shortly after its formation in 2010, the International Federation of Pickleball (IFP) adopted the USAPA rulebook, with permission from USAPA.
