During a pickleball game, a ball is hit from team A deep into team B’s court. The ball is contacted by a player on team B in an effort to return it and then, after the ball is on its way back across the court, the team B player yells “Out” to indicate that the ball was out of bounds which would then give team B the point.
Can a player call a ball out after contacting it in an effort to return it? Yes/No?
Let us hear form you in the comments section. The answer will be provided next week!
If it is struck before it hits the ground it is in play. If it lands out and then is struck, it is out.

Thanks for your input. I will post the answer to this question next week and I think some pickleballers will be interested in the answer provided by the USAPA. I apreciate you visiting our website and contributing!
