- Dembrow returns the ball during a game of pickleball Thursday. In Pickleball, points are scored by the serving team. When the ball is served, the receiving team must let it bounce before hitting their return, and then the serving team must let it bounce before returning. After two bounces a rally can begin where the ball may be returned before it has bounced.
