Independence Pickleball (IPBC)

Using only half the court length wise a singles game of control is the key.

Using the single scoring method  player 1 serves from his/her EVEN court (rt side)  to player 2's EVEN court as if in regulation play.

Player 1 will then switch over to his/her ODD court (lt side) to play out a 1 on 1 game within this half of the entire court til a point or side-out. 

All shots MUST stay within that half of the court and play continues until a point is scored or a side-out is made by player 2.

If player 1 wins the rally and scores? He/she will now serve from his/her ODD court to player 2's ODD court. Player 1 will cross over to his/her even court side to play on that half of the court. Play continues until a point is scored or a sideout has been won.

If player 2 wins the rally for a side-out, he/she will do the same. Start serving from the EVEN court and switch courts to play the half court game.

Keep score to 5 or 7 or by time.  Keep the games short in length and work on ball control from ALL areas of the court.

If you have 4 players and want to work on control?

Continue to play 1 on 1 but DON'T serve cross court. Just serve straight across on the same side. Play for a time limit and then switch sides to work both side lines.
