Underhand Serving: All serves must be hit underhand below the waist. Drop serves are permitted. 2. Two-Bounce Rule: The serve must bounce once on the receiver's side, and the return must bounce once on the server's side before either team can hit a volley out of the air. 3. The Kitchen (Non-Volley Zone): You cannot hit the ball out of the air while touching or standing inside the 7-foot Kitchen line. You may step in only if the ball has bounced inside first. 4. Score Announcement: The server must call the score out loud** before serving (Server Score – Opponent Score – Server Number 1 or 2). 5. Self-Officiating & Line Calls: Players make line calls on their side of the court. If a ball is too close to call, give the benefit of the doubt to your opponent ("In!"). 6. Sportsmanship: Tap paddles at the net after every game and keep the atmosphere encouraging!
