Nexthouseball is a sport played in the hallway between the storage room and the west stairwell in the MIT Next House dorm basement that combines the best of pickleball and squash.
Equipment
- 2 pickleball rackets (you may want to tape the top of the rackets to avoid scratches)
- 1 pickleball
- 1 Next House
Court
Designate a line as the center line. Nexthouseball does not use a net. Then, count ten floor tiles away from the center on both sides for the end lines. This forms the boundaries of the court.
Gameplay
- You must serve behind the end line.
- If the ball does not bounce once on your opponent's side, you lose the point.
- If the ball bounces twice on your side, you lose the point.
- The ball is allowed to hit the walls, but you lose the point if it hits the ceiling.
- You are not allowed to cross the center line.
- The person who lost the previous point serves.
- The court is slightly asymmetric, so before the match, one person decides which side they will be on while the other person serves first.
