After your opponent successfully lands their serve, the rally is on! Each ball hit during the rally must land within the court. If the ball touches a court line, it should still be called in. In order to call a ball out, a player should see space between the line and the ball when it hits the ground.
The serve is initiated with at least one foot behind the baseline; neither foot may contact the baseline or court until after the ball is struck. The serve is made diagonally crosscourt and must land within the confines of the opposite diagonal court. Only one serve attempt is allowed (let serves are allowed).
The simplest way is to just lower the tennis net to 34" in the center. Lines may be taped or painted on the court for pickleball (always check with facility first). Then the court can be used for both tennis and pickleball very easily.
Code of Ethics for Line Calling: Only make line calls on your side of the pickleball court and always strive for accuracy. Only call “out” balls when space is clearly visible between the line and where the pickleball lands. Call “out” balls promptly.
PICKLEBALL LINES: COURT LINES 2 inches wide and measurements should be made to the outside of the lines. PICKLEBALL LINES: BASELINE Lines parallel to the net at each end of the court. PICKLEBALL LINES: SIDELINES Lines perpendicular to the net on each side of the court.

Line Calls A ball contacting any line, except the non-volley zone line on a serve, is considered “in.” A serve contacting the non-volley zone line is short and a fault.
