To start the game, teams can either rally for serve or play rock-paper-scissors The serving team only gets one serve their first time (to help prevent blow-outs). This rule only applies for the first serve of the game for opening serving team. Serving must be underhand Serves can be off of the volley or off of the bounce. Paddle contact with the ball must be below the server’s waist. You must start the serve behind the baseline and neither foot can contact the baseline or court until after you hit the ball The serve must be diagonal crosscourt and must land in the opposite diagonal court. Receivers may move up to the net only once they’ve returned the serve. You only get one serve attempt unless you hit the ball into the net and it lands on the other side in the proper service court (known as a “let”) The server only receives one fault before losing serve. This does not include “lets” (when the ball hits the net and lands properly beyond the no-volley zone.) If a serving team wins a point, the same server serves, but switches sides from the side the served from the previous point. |
