8. The Game Cont.
When the ball is served, it enables the players to move anywhere on their side of the net.
The primary objective of the game is for the players to hit the ball into the net, which will prevent the opposing team from returning the ball.
Each team is allotted a maximum of three touches to return the ball to the opposing team, which is carried on until the ball is not returned correctly.

13. Spikeball Serving Rules and Guidelines
Serving is a big part of Spikeball, and there are many rules that must be followed in order for a serve to be considered successful.
The serving rules and guidelines for Spikeball are:
Before a serve takes place, the receiving team will set their position. The server must stand directly adjacent to the receiving player. The receiving player is the only person who can take the serve.

14. Cont.
Before the ball is hit, it must be tossed from the server’s hand. Under no circumstances can the ball be hit directly from the server’s hand, which is considered an illegal serve. In the case the server is unhappy with the toss of the ball, then he or she will need to allow the ball to fall to the ground. In this circumstance, he or she will have one additional chance to toss the ball for a successful serve.

15. Cont..
Before serving, a player must be six feet from the service line. It is allowed for a server to lean over the service line, but under no circumstance is the server’s feet allowed to cross the service line. If the server’s feet cross the service line, then it is considered an illegal serve.

16. Cont.
The player who serves is allowed to take a pivot step, but he or she is not allowed to move laterally beyond the pivot.
The server is allowed to serve with a drop shot.
When a player serves the ball, it must be served below the receiver’s hand. If the receiver is able to catch the ball, then it has to be played. In the event the serve is too high, the receiver must state “let” before the ball is touched. If the receiver fails to call “let,” then play will continue.

17. Cont.
In order to be considered a successful serve, the ball must clear the net. In the case the ball does not bounce the way it should, the receiver must call “let” before the ball is touched. If this happens, the serving team has one more opportunity for a successful serve. If the server fails to serve properly, then the serving team will lose the point.

18. Cont.
When the ball makes contact with the rim during the serve, there is a possession change and the opposing team will receive a point.
All four players must serve during a game, and the server will change when a rally is won by the team that is receiving.

Contact with the ball must alternate between team members.
The ball is not allowed to be thrown, caught, or lifted under any circumstance. During spikeball, the ball must be hit and a player must not hit the ball with both hands at the same time.
A player is allowed to hit the ball with any part of his or her body, but is not allowed to contact the ball two consecutive times before it is returned to the opposing team.
In the event the two teams are not able to determine if the ball hit the rim, then there must be a replay without question.
