So, is the line in or out in pickleball? ing to the rules, any ball that touches any part of a line is considered “in.” This applies to all lines, including the baseline, sideline, and centerline. However, when serving, a ball that lands on the kitchen line is “out” because the serve cannot land in the kitchen.
The 10-second rule under USA Pickleball says that, once the score has been called by the server, the server has 10 seconds to serve the ball. This is true even if the receiving team is not yet in the correct position. However, the server should wait until the receiving team is ready to receive the ball.
Making sure you follow the rules The serve must land in the diagonally opposite service area and must clear the entirety of the non-volley zone. A serve that lines on the line of the NVZ is a fault. Your feet must be correctly placed behind the baseline.
Pickleball court lines and layout A pickleball court is 20 feet wide x 44 feet long (22 feet long on either side of the net). The non-volley zone (NVZ, or the kitchen) is seven feet long (from the net to the top of the kitchen line) on either side of the net and 20 feet wide — from sideline to sideline.
Positioning: Both feet have to be behind and not touch the baseline in any way. Serving Motion: Volley serves have to be underhand, and drop serves must let the ball fall to the ground and bounce before you make contact.

The Nasty Nelson is when a server serves the ball to their opponent directly across from them and intentionally hits that player before it bounces. It must hit the player who was not receiving the serve.
The Erne refers to a shot that the player hits from the side of the non-volley zone where their feet are outside of the court but where they are hitting the ball (making contact) above the kitchen. So, on the sideline out of the non-volley zone.
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.
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.
