Rules & scoring, minus the confusion
8 min
Side-out scoring, the double-bounce rule, and what the kitchen actually forbids.
Key takeaways
- Only the serving team scores — call three numbers in doubles.
- The ball must bounce once on each side after the serve.
- You may enter the kitchen anytime — you just can't volley there.
Practice goal
Play one game to 11 where you announce the full score before every serve.
