​

Note: All parents and spectators are to view from the upstairs balcony or through the viewing windows and not enter the courts.

​​

Reporting the Score

• While the other two players in your team play, you score/referee.

• One player from each team scores together, one player from each team calls outs together.

• Players report the score to the competition director after each match.

• It is the team captain's responsibility to ensure that all of your team's scores have been reported by the end of each evening.

​​

Team Player Numbers

• A standard team consists of four players.

• If one of you players are away, then you will each get to play one additional match to fill the gap.

• If you are a team of five, and all the players in your team are there, then each week one of the players fills in a gap in another team from their school, or in one of the teams of three.

​

Basic Rules

• If the ball is outside the lines or doesn't go over the net, the ball is out.

• Either player can hit the ball over the net.

• Two attempts for serving. The serve must go into the opposite corner box.

• Whichever team wins the rally gets a point, and serves for the next rally.

• If you win a rally you served, the same person keeps serving, alternating sides. If you lose, then when you win your next rally it is now your partners turn to serve.

• No volleying (hitting before the bounce) if you are standing in front of the kitchen line.

• The return of serve cannot be volleyed.

• If your team serves for the rally your first shot after the serve cannot be volleyed.
