Section 5: Rules of Play
The game begins with a serve. A player must hit the ball against the wall using one hand or arm, ensuring it lands within the designated service zone on the opposing side. The ball must bounce once before being returned by the receiving team, though some variations allow for a second bounce depending on local rules.
Once the ball is in play, players must hit it against the wall before it bounces twice on their side of the court. Players can use any part of their body to hit the ball, but it is most commonly done with hands or arms. If a team fails to return the ball before it bounces twice, they lose possession of the rally.
