HOW TO PLAY

Players position themselves on the court facing the tall front wall used for play.
2
The serving player strikes the ball with their paddle so it hits the front wall and rebounds into the marked serving zone.
3
The receiving player or team must return the ball against the front wall before it bounces twice on the court floor.

Rallies continue with each side alternating returns off the wall until the ball is missed or hit out of bounds.
5
A side that fails to legally return the ball or hits it outside the court lines loses the point.

Matches are played to a set number of points across a best-of-sets format to determine the winner.
