Standing behind the backline near the line, which divides the court in half, must transfer the ball to the diagonally opposite half of the opponent’s pitching area. The first feed is always done to the right of the centerline. After each point, the server moves to the opposite side of the centerline.
If the ball falls over the serving line or into the net, the player will be entitled to the second serve. If this happens again, the opponent wins a point. It is considered a violation of the server"s intervention for the backline. If the ball touches the net but reaches the opponent’s side, the service is reset and replayed.
