Cannot Collide in Pygame

Question

Im trying to make pin pon game, one rectangle is right side of the screen and other one is left side of the screen of course. When the ball hits the second rectangle it needs to be collide but in the update method there is a hits1 variable which supposed to be collide the stuffs but in same line

hits1 = pg.sprite.spritecollide(self.player,self.balls,False)

pygame gives me this error:

AttributeError: 'pygame.math.Vector2' object has no attribute 'colliderect'

import pygame as pg

class Game:
    def __init__(self):
        # initialize game window, etc
        pg.init()
        pg.mixer.init()
        self.screen = pg.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))
        pg.display.set_caption(TITLE)
        self.clock = pg.time.Clock()
        self.running = True


def new(self):
    # start a new game
    self.all_sprites = pg.sprite.Group()
    self.balls = pg.sprite.Group()
    self.player = Player(self)
    self.player2 = Player2(self)
    self.ball = Ball(self.player.pos.x + 10, self.player.pos.y + 20,self)
    self.all_sprites.add(self.player,self.player2)
    self.all_sprites.add(self.ball)
    self.balls.add(self.ball)
    self.run()

def run(self):
    # Game Loop
    self.playing = True
    while self.playing:
        self.clock.tick(FPS)
        self.events()
        self.update()
        self.draw()

def update(self):
    # Game Loop - Update
    self.all_sprites.update()
    hits1 = pg.sprite.spritecollide(self.player,self.balls,False)

    if hits1:
        self.player2.throw_back()

def events(self):
    # Game Loop - events
    for event in pg.event.get():
        # check for closing window
        if event.type == pg.QUIT:
            if self.playing:
                self.playing = False
            self.running = False



def draw(self):
    # Game Loop - draw
    self.screen.fill(BLACK)
    self.all_sprites.draw(self.screen)
    # *after* drawing everything, flip the display
    pg.display.flip()

def show_start_screen(self):
    # game splash/start screen
    pass

def show_go_screen(self):
    # game over/continue
    pass




g = Game()
g.show_start_screen()
while g.running:
    g.new()
    g.show_go_screen()

pg.quit()

You didn't show all relevant code but my educated guess is somewhere you have a Sprite class (either Player and/or Ball) where you assing a Vector2 instance to the rect attribute instead of a Rect instance.

I don't know how the code actually looks like but instead of something like this:

self.rect = some_vector

alter the existing Rect like this instead:

self.rect.topleft = some_vector
