Overhand serves are allowed.

The served ball may touch the net while crossing it.

If the ball visibly comes to rest between two opposing players (a joust), play continues and the team receiving the ball is entitled to another three contacts.

Server may serve the ball from anywhere behind the end line and between the extension of the sidelines.

A player may contact the ball with any part of the body. The ball must rebound cleanly and may not come to rest or roll along the player's body.

It is a legal serve if the ball is hit directly from the hand of the server.

During a team's first hit, successive contact with various parts of the player's body are permitted in a single action of playing the ball. A team's first hit includes reception of a serve, and reception of an attack-hit by the opponent (this may be a soft or hard attack-hit.)

Generally, net play will be called tightly, and play to keep the ball in play will be called more loosely.
