SERVING
Players take turns serving in a clockwise rotation, with the
server standing behind the service line. The ball must be
served underhand either out of hand or off a bounce.
A point is scored when:
The ball bounces twice on the opponents’ side
The opposing team is unable to return the ball
within 3 hits
The opposing team cannot legally return the ball
in the court
The opposing team hits the ball out of bounds
The opposing team commits a fault or foul
