    • The server must strike the ball as it falls, so that it touches their court first, then touches the receiver's court.
    • In doubles, the ball must touch the right half court of the server and then the receiver.
    • From the start of service until it is struck, the ball must be above the playing surface and behind the server's end line.
    • The ball must not be hidden from the receiver by the server, their partner, or anything they wear or carry.
    • The ball, having been served or returned, must be struck so that it touches the opponent's court, either directly or after touching the net assembly.
