Rules in ~60s: Serve, Two-Bounce, Kitchen, Side-Out Scoring

Summary

Kyle Koszuta compresses the core rules: underhand serve from behind the baseline diagonally into the opposite box past the NVZ line; each side must let the serve and return bounce (two-bounce rule); then either team may volley — except in the kitchen.

The NVZ bans volleys while touching it, not entry after a bounce. Only the serving team scores; the three-number call is your score, their score, and server 1 or 2; play to 11, win by two, with side-outs after the second server loses the rally.

Key takeaways

• Serve underhand, diagonal, past the NVZ
• Two bounces required (serve + return)
• Kitchen = no volley; bounce hits inside are legal
• Side-out scoring to 11, win by 2; third number = server

Action items

• Explain the three-number score to a newer partner before you start
• Send this short to one person who still mixes up kitchen vs two-bounce
