The game begins with the player who serves first. His position is on the right side of the field behind the baseline. He serves the ball diagonally (cross) to the opposite field. If this shot is not successful he/ she serves one more time. If this shot is also not successful the opposite team get the point. If successful, the ball should bounce not more than once before it is hit by the rival.
The ball can be passed from one side to the other until:
- It bounces beyond the outlines of the field
- It hits the net
- The ball bounces 2 times in the field of the player
If one of the above mentioned cases happens then the rival receives a point
After scoring the first point, the ball should be served form the left side of the field (by the baseline). The game continues until one of the participants scores a point. After that the server has to serve again from the right side of the field. This goes on until the game is over. After the game is over, the opposite team starts serving the ball.
