Serving

Every time a team wins a point, the next point begins with that team serving. While the team that just won the point serves, the opposing team is on serve receive.  After every side out (a team winning a point on serve receive) the team will rotate and a different player will serve. The server is always the player in the right back position. Even thought the player is in the right back position they may serve from anywhere on the court as long as they are behind the back line. If the players foot steps on or over the back line before they have contacted the ball, it is called a foot fault and a point will be given to the other team. There two main types of serve a top spin serve and a float serve. A player may also jump serve. in a jump serve, the player takes an approach and hit either a jump top or a jump float. a jump float serve moves more in the air, while a top spin serve spins and usually goes to a specific spot on the court. there are different zones for serving that are labeled 1 through 6. 1,2, and 3 are short, and 4, 5, and 6 are deep.
