on a side take turns in serving. A ball which bounds back into the court after striking any other object except the floor or ceiling is still in play. In sending the ball across the net, players should aim for an unprotected part of the opponents' court or try in other ways to place them at a disadvantage. The service changes to opposite side when the serving side: 1. Allows the ball to touch the floor. 2. Knocks it out of bounds. 3. Fails to return it to the opponents. 4. The ball hits the net during the service. 5. A served ball falls outside the opponents' court. 6. A player on the serving side touches the net at any time. Score. The game consists of twenty-one points--only the serving side scores. One point is scored when: 1. A good serve is unreturned. 2. Any time when the opponents fail to return the ball which is in play. 3. When the receiving side touches the net. (Should the serving side fail to return a ball to the opponents' court, they are put out. The serve passes to the opponents and no score is made.) Scoring on Fouls. 1. Touching the net by a player on the receiving side allows the serving side one point. 2. A ball sent under the net counts one for the opposing side. 3. If the ball strikes any object outside the court and bounds back, although it is still in play, it counts one for the opposing side. A ball sent out of bounds in returning a service scores one point for the opposing team. One point is scored by the opponents whenever a player catches the ball or holds it for even an instant.
