The Serve and Return

When it comes to the serve, it must land in a designated box on the court without touching the no-volley zone line. However, the return can be directed anywhere in-bounds, giving players the freedom to choose their target strategically.

Tactical Returns

Players often aim to return the serve close to the opposing team’s baseline. This tactic allows for more time to advance to the kitchen and creates difficulties for the opponents in executing drop shots into your court.

Rulebook Reading Appreciation

One commenter commended the original poster for reading the rule book, emphasizing that while only the serve has a specific landing requirement, subsequent hits must bounce before being returned.
