Deck Pickleball decks are the official rectangular surface areas of play in the sport with two player sides divided by a central net. The court is divided into three main areas; two opposing service areas for play, and the center non-volley zone where the net is located. The service areas are split, with a left and right side divided by a centerline. Like standard pickleball, the non-volley zone is not used for volleying, and players must hit the ball from outside the zone in order to serve and rally. The rapid back-and-forth rallies between opposing players typically have a cadence much more akin to that of table tennis.
