• Match time limit: 25 minutes

Point Structure

• Serve: Points begin with an underarm serve.

• Serving Rules:

  • One Serve Only: There is no second serve.

  • No-Let Rule: The serve is played regardless of whether it hits the net.

  • Serve Placement: Serve anywhere inside the singles lines.

Starting the Match

• First Point: The first point begins with two shots played through the middle of the court. After that, the point is live.

• Feeding: The team that wins the first point gets to feed the next serve.

Point Continuation

• The team that loses a point may feed the next ball as soon as you see the point is over.

• Feeding the ball too early costs you the point.

Timeout

• Each team is allowed one timeout per match, lasting one minute.

• To call a timeout, simply raise your arm and announce it. Use it wisely ;).

Additional Notes

• No Warm-Ups: There are no warm-ups during match time. Get straight into the action!

Now step onto the court, claim your victory, and make sure every point counts!
