How to get a point

Winning the Rally vs Winning the Serve

If your opponent cannot return the ball OR they hit it out then you win the SERVE. Winning the SERVE ONLY gives you the advantage of serving (no points). IF you are SERVING and win the point, then you have Won the RALLY and will receive a point.

Just like a serve, the ball must bounce before you hit it on the third hit.

1. Serve

2. (bounce) Return

3. (bounce) Return

• When you serve you start on the right side. If you win, you switch over to the left side. Keep switching as long as you are winning points.
