What is pickleball? Paano maglaro ng pickleball
Pickleball is a paddle game played on a small court with a net and a light plastic ball with holes. It's a bit like tennis on a badminton-sized court. Most games are doubles, two players on each side.
The ball is slower than a tennis ball and the court is small, so most new players can rally in their first hour.
The basic rules
- The serve is underhand, and it goes diagonally across the net.
- The ball has to bounce once on each side before anyone hits it in the air.
- You can't hit the ball in the air while standing in the zone right next to the net, called the kitchen.
- Games usually go to 11 points, and you have to win by 2.
That's enough to start. The rest you'll pick up on court.
Lesson, open play or court rental: which one is for you?
A lesson. Best if you've never held a paddle, or you've played a few times and want to learn the right way before you pick up bad habits.
Open play. Best if you're coming solo. Sign up on Reclub and we rotate you into games with other players.
Court rental. Best if you're coming with family or friends and want the court to yourselves while you learn.

Yes. Every open play session is for all levels, and we rotate solo players into games. Tell us it's your first time and we'll help you find a game.
Ano ang pickleball?
Isang paddle game ang pickleball. Nilalaro ito sa maliit na court na may net, gamit ang paddle at magaan na plastic na bola na may mga butas. Parang tennis, pero kasing-laki lang ng badminton court ang court. Kadalasan doubles ang laro, dalawa sa bawat side.
Paano maglaro ng pickleball? Ano ang basic rules?
Doubles ang karaniwang laro, dalawa sa bawat side. Underhand ang serve at pa-diagonal sa kabilang court. Kailangang tumalbog muna ang bola nang isang beses sa bawat side bago mo ito pwedeng tamaan nang hindi pa lumalapag. Bawal din tamaan ang bola sa ere habang nasa kitchen ka, yung area na pinakamalapit sa net. Karaniwang hanggang 11 points ang laro, at kailangang manalo ng 2 points na lamang. Madali lang, matututunan mo sa unang laro.
Do I need my own paddle?
No. Rent one here for ₱100 per session.
Magkano per head?
A court booking covers up to 4 players for 1 hour. From 10 AM to 4 PM, that's ₱200 an hour, or ₱50 each for four people. For open play, see each session's fee on Reclub. Paddle rental is ₱100.
What is open play?
A hosted session where you pay per person and play games with whoever joins. You don't need a partner or a group. Sign up on Reclub.
Hanggang anong oras kayo bukas?
6 AM to 2 AM, every day.
Can I book just 1 hour?
Yes. A 1-hour booking on Sports360 covers up to 4 players.
Is pickleball easy for seniors?
You can start at any age. The court is smaller than a tennis court and the ball is slower, so there's less running. Play at your own pace and rest whenever you need to. A lesson is a good first step.
Pwede ang kids?
Yes. Kids, parents and grandparents all play here.
Can we rent the whole court just for our family?
Yes. Book on Sports360 and the court is yours for that time. Up to 4 players for 1 hour, 8 for 2 hours, 12 for 3 hours or more.
Should I take a lesson or just join open play?
Take a lesson if you've never played or want to fix your basics. Join open play if you want games and to meet other players. Book the court if you want to learn privately with your own group.
May café ba habang naghihintay?
Yes. D' Rafael's Cafe opens when the court is booked, so you can get a coffee between games.
What if it rains?
Before your booking, you can move it to another available date. If rain stops a court rental after more than 30 minutes of play, that counts as 1 hour used. For open play, 2 hours or more counts as a full session, and less than 2 hours lets you move to the next open play. Message us to reschedule. Rain cancellations aren't rescheduled automatically.
