Setup

Want to see a setup video? Just watch the How to Play video above.

Like reading? We got you.

Unfold the court and remove the net, 6 poles, 4 paddles, and 2 balls.

Place the court on an even surface so it's sitting as level as possible.

Slide 1 pole into each of the six sleeves of the net.

Once all poles are inserted into the net, fully insert 1 pole into each of the holes on the edge of the court.

The net should be fairly taut in all directions.

Give a paddle to each player and have teammates stand across the court from one another.
