Racquet Ball Rules - Serves Must Bounce First
In racquetball, the serve must follow specific rules to ensure a fair game. One key rule is that the ball must bounce on the floor before being struck by the server. Here's how it works:
Racquetball Serve Rules- Bounce First – The server must drop or bounce the ball onto the floor inside the service zone before hitting it.
- Front Wall Contact – After being struck, the ball must hit the front wall first before returning to the floor.
- Passing the Short Line – The ball must pass beyond the short line (midpoint of the court) before the opponent can play it.
- No Sidewall First – The ball cannot hit the sidewall, ceiling, or back wall before first striking the front wall.
- Short Serve: The ball doesn't pass the short line after hitting the front wall.
- Long Serve: The ball hits the back wall before bouncing on the floor.
- Three-Wall Serve: The ball strikes both sidewalls after the front wall before bouncing.
- Ceiling Serve: The ball hits the ceiling after striking the front wall.
