Keeping score in pickleball is a source of confusion for just about everyone. It does gets easier over time, we promise! Here is a video that should help.
 
 
TIP: Here is one more simple idea to help keep scoring straight: At the start of each game, make a mental note of the player that served first for each side.

You might even want to have the game's Starting server on each side wear a colorful wristband.
