Wow! I finally understood the scoring rules. Thanks to this video. Cheers to the corn, radish, shoe and truck!
😃👍
The best video I have seen online yet . Really liked his demonstration with the toys .
Very clear description of something most beginners struggle with. Nice work Mark.
Probably the best explanation of scoring I’ve seen. Thank you very much.
The best explanation of doubles scoring I have seen and I've watched so many videos trying to figure this out. Now I understand, thanks!!!
I find this video the most detailed and educational to learn how to keep score. It has been of a tremendous help for me. Thank you so much!
I have gone through 4 classes and the lightbulb has not went on with regards to scoring. No one was saying that you can’t score when you’re not serving. Thank you! Super clear.
what a great video. It's the first one that slowly and clearly explained things. I'll watch it again and again til it's etched in my mind. Thank you!
great explanation, very clear and concise. I especially liked that you had a shoe playing with a truck. Pickleball is an inclusive sport and all pickleball players of all skill levels should look for opportunities to play with shoes. Thanks again for another well done and informative video
This is by far the best explanation on how to keep score. I won’t be as lost anymore while playing the game! Thanks!
Awesome! That’s kind of our thing. Tell your friend! And if you like this you’ll LOVE our newsletter! thirdshotsports.com/newsletter
I do agreeeeeeeeee!!!!
I have played. I have read the rules. I have watched countless videos trying to understand this game. I have no idea why shoe, car, radish and corn makes sense but I totally get it now! This is amazing. Thanks for ending my confusion. Very nicely explained!
This is really helpful. My wife is a beginning player and is struggling to understand scoring. It's like teaching your wife to drive! This video will be a great help to us.
This is the best explanation that I've seen of this completely asinine scoring system. Thanks!
Very clear explanation and I'm so grateful to not hear background music competing with your voice for our attention! Let's us focus on what your saying! Thank you!!
This is the best explanation of scoring and serving I’ve see Yet!
this helped so much.... so great to use the toys just to get the idea of who serves , then move on to actual scoring! Awesome!
excellent video, you made the rules and scoring much clearer to me! Love the creativity with the little objects playing.. Your explanations were patiently done!
People act like the 0-0-2 is so complicated that you can't explain it to beginners. I don't think it's that hard. The first team to serve gets the first chance to score points. It would be an even bigger advantage if both players got a chance to serve before the other team got one chance, so to balance things out, the first team to serve only gets one server. That's why they start out as the second server.
What ??
@@raycortopassi4030 only the serving team can score. Having the opportunity to score confers an advantage to the first team to serve in the game.
Are you following so far?
No, this scoring makes me feel stupid. I just want to rally and forget about the score. Probably not the game for me 😢
@@raycortopassi4030 I explanation above was about the rationale for the 0-0-2. In other words, why the game is started with 0-0-2.
But more basic than that, I hope you at least understand what the numbers represent...? 0-0 is the score. The third number is about the server, and lets both teams know when the service changes side. Do you understand that much?
Love corn and radish's outfits! :) Great explanation Mark! I will send this to our beginners.
Thanks Nan!
This video made a world of difference for me. Thanks!!!
Explanations are so clear. As a beginner to play pickleball, but have no idea how to count scores... I know now how to score and how to switch the server position... Thank you so much!
Happy to help
Great explanation very clear and very concise thank you
I know I’m about 3 years late but wow what a good video. Very easy to understand for a newb
Love that you filmed the players in slo-mo. Somehow that slowed my brain down enough that I could absorb what you were teaching. That said, scoring in pickleball is weird. 😅
Best teaching ever!👍👏
The first four minutes was a toss salad of confusion. Luckily I skipped most of it and viewed the remainder which was very clear on how the scoring is kept. Thanks
Great video, it will be very useful to share this with my new students. Also, Truck/Shoe 2020 for President!
What do you think their slogan would be?
You explained this the best of any other channels. Thank you!! I subbed.
Absolutely THE best explanation of scoring!!!!!
It took a while before I caught on to scoring in Pickleball. This video would have helped immensely.
Great video Mark!
I’m saving this one to show the new comers at our club.
As usual radish and corn are sand bagging at 3.5.
They are nothing if not consistent
Much clearer than many other explanations. Thank you.
Victor Saumarez glad you liked it!
I'm rooting for Truck and Shoe!!! Keep up the great work Mark.
Mark- I send all my students this video!! So good!
This is the best explanation I’v hear yet.
Oh my gosh I finally get the scoring now thanks to this video! Thank you!!
I've been struggling with scoring, but this video was helpful. Thank you very much!
Best video on scoring.
FINALLY! Now I understand which server is #1 and which is #2 following a sideout. The clouds have parted --- aaaahhhhhh.
Very clear on score keeping, Any tricks for those of us "of a certain age" who know how to keep score but continually forget it (particularly after a long rally)..sometimes all four players!
Good video, thank you. I'm understanding the scoring better, and I understand the server's number for the first 2 sideouts. What I'm not understanding is does the server's number change throughout the game, or is it always the same number they begin with?
it changes
Thanks for sharing this video. Fun way to help players coming to the sport! Will post to our newly formed Club!
clear score instruction. Thanks
Thank you for this. Now I understand.
Once you get it you got it, only prob for my over 50's group is remembering it and who served last after a long point!
Thanks that was really clear.
I just started playing and the people that were teaching just confused me more with serving and scoring. Personally I think they were making things up. Anyway thank you for your video ( I’ve watch half a dozen of them before yours) I clearly know how the serving works now. The hard part now is trying to convince the people who are teaching me that they are wrong lol.
I've watched nearly a dozen videos before this trying to get the stupid scoring system -- and it's rather confusing, but you made it very clear. My only question you didn't address is, when playing singles, do you still say the 3rd number? Do you get a second serve when playing singles?
I'm finally starting to understand the scoring thanks to this video. yaaaa!!!
Great!! Thanks for watching!
That breaks it down to help beginners. Now, I hope I win that awesome hat!!!! Great job on video Mark.
Thanks Pam!
That was a long video for Mark and understandably so. I like Mark for his clarity and brevity. I have yet to see a scoring video that mentions that the receiving team must each receive serves on the side where they found themselves at the side out. So, if I (3.5 on a rare good day) ever partner with Tyson McGuffin, we won't be able to let Tyson take all the serves.
Great explanation and terrific creativity. Good joy coach!!
Good job coach--well, it's a joy to watch you
Best Explanation I've seen. Thanks!!
Was helpful...thank you! 👏
You explained this so clearly-- thank you!
Hi Mark. To follow up on this great video..can you explain how to know which side of the court you should be on based on the score?
You have an even score? Serve from right side facing the net. Odd # is from left side
Awesome video, hitting a pickleball keychain over a sharpie between a shoe and a piece of corn is next level smart. Can you clarify the whole right/left serve and even/odd score? Or is that just for singles. Thx.
I hope corn and radish don't get pickled!!
I’m new. This is excellent. Thank you.
Keeping score comes easy for some,but not for others,because they are focusing on getting that ball back across the net & know someone else will keep up with it!
I thought if your score was even,
you starting server should be on the right and if your score is odd your starting server should be on the left. When you are covering the real scenario, you have it backwards. PLEASE clarify ..
Where else can you get your Pickleball with “cob of corn, radish, truck and shoe”? You with me so far? You also get a free explanation of a rally and a great picture of Mark’s hair. All this wrapped around a great explanation of how that pesky scoring system works. Only at Third Shot Sports.
We aim to please!

good explanation
Great visual video!!
I'm a tennis player learning PB and one thing about doubles team player rotation was vague. In tennis doubles, the receiving team never alternates left and right courts. For example, if you started receiving in the left (Ad) court, you always receive serve in the Ad court throughout the set and match. However, in PB, the court side one receives on alternates L/R based on their positions when last serving but sided out? For example, if my first receive ever in the game was left court, but I served last from right side with side out, the next time I receive is from right court? Thanks
When do the server numbers change? The rules says the server numbers don't always stay the same throughout the game.
Helpful info on scoring. Question: when you are in the middle of a match, and you are not sure of the score, it seems to me that players figure it out by who was the very first server - how does this work?? Thanks!
Good question. We should make a video on it. The short answer is: if your score is even, a team’s first server will be serving/returning from the right side of the court. if a teams score is is odd, the second server will be playing from the right side.
I feel like pickleball doubles scoring is a bit convoluted. Should have just adopted tennis doubles scoring. Tennis scoring, altogether. 15,30,40,Ad, game. New to pickleball, and I can't keep up with all the confusion on court about whose serve it is, which side to serve from, etc.
You leave out a very important point that should be introduced in the very beginning. And that is that the very first server of the game is know as the "first server", which is different than "server #1". And it should be noted that the 'first server" will ALWAYS be serving on the right side when their score is even. The "first server" can be server #1 or #2 depending on where they are standing when they get a side out.
Thanks for watching!
Omg thank you so much that helped a lot.
Welcome!
So you don’t switch positions when you’re switching servers?
Excellent video.
thanks. we try.
I can't stop laughing. You explained this like you are talking to a 3 year old. Last I heard, they ain't capable of playing Pickleball. I couldn't keep watching as I thought I was in pre-school again..... What score do you play to win?
If it was 3-3 shouldn’t the lady have served from the left (odd) side?
Question: does the player on the right side of the court always serves first?
At the start of the game, and after a side out, the serve always comes from the right side first. However, sometimes players may be forced to serve from one side of the court but prefer to play the rest of the point on the opposite side. They will serve as required, and then move to their desired side. So, the serve would come from the right side of the court, but that person who served may then moved to the left. It’s called stacking. We have a video on it on our channel.
Is it true that you do not keep your server number (1 or 2) throughout the game? It changes with each sideout.
When there is a sideout, the player on the right is always server 1 (except the 1st point).
Thank you for your help.
You got it.
At the start of the game,,,the serve say 002 and goes in a rally,,surely won that rally,,two things will change,,server will go on and change or switch places with his/her team,,secondly she has to say the score,,,102???? Right????
Once the 1st server serves at 0-0-2 and loses, once the other team loses and it's still 0-0, how does the next person on the original service side call the score? 0-0-1, since now they are the 1st server for the team? Seems odd since they started at 0-0-2, even though they were the first server of the game period.
You got it!
when does the pickles come in like do we eat them or do we throw them at the other people?
Whatever floats your boat!
Couldn't get past the crazy hair -- was waiting for this to be a joke or making fun of pickleball. Sorry, it was hard to take this video seriously when the pickleball coach looks like he came out of the looney house. Will try to watch.😆
I thought you serve on the right when your score is even and left when your score is odd
Hi, does the first server 0-0-2 stay on the same side after winning a volley ? Thx.
Good question! If a team wins a rally when they are serving, same person keeps serving but from the other court. If they lose the rally, that person loses the serve. So at the very start of a game (002, serving from the right) if the serving team wins, the server would then serve from the left side of the court (1-0-2). Does that make sense?
@@ThirdShotSports It does. Thank you :-)
Great video! Instagram @FreddiesPickleballNJ
You only win points if you're serving??
With regular scoring, yup. There is a version called “rally” scoring where a point is awarded after each rally. But this is not typically the version used.
I heard car likes to drive the ball, which makes him a banger, which sent his collision insurance thru the roof.
clearly truck is the best PB player. . 4.5?
Rules for pickleball
Truck and shoe really need to work on their game!
Very helpful and well explained to this ADHD DYSLEXIC CRAZY 68 yr old woman.😂🤪
You look and sound like Gene Wilder.
What a bunch of complicated rules. Can’t understand why this game has become so popular. Too much mental stress for me.
Couldn’t you comb your hair
Never!!
Terrible video used for my gym class. Didn't teach me anything
If you already knew how to keep score, why did you watch it?
