● Once the ball is served, players can move in any formation on
the court. The serving team continues to serve until the
opposing team scores a point; the serve is then awarded to
that team. A service fault occurs if the ball fails to make it over
the net, touches a player of the serving team, lands out of
bounds, or the server’s footsteps over the serving line. If this
occurs, the serve is awarded to the other team.
