SERVING
The first thing you need to do is serve the ball to the opponent’s side of
the court.
A B Button
Jump serve
When you serve the ball, first you have an option
to change serving position. Use the Control Stick
46
to move the player.
The power gauge displayed to the left of the
screen indicates the power put into the service.
Press any serve button at the desired power level
to serve. Be careful though as you are required
to have at least the minimal amount of power to
make a successful Overhand and Jump serve.

Except when an edited team is being selected
(Arcade Mode), the control will automatically
switch to the player on the field closest to the
ball receiving a serve/return, and switches to the
other player on the team after each action.
Naturally this will not be the case if two players
are teaming up.

TYPES OF SERVE
Overhand Serve
The size of the area to aim is rather narrow, but you can hit a fast
ball if the power gauge is high.
Underhand Serve
It is rather low in power, but has wide area to aim. You will not make
a service error.
Jump Serve
The area to aim is very narrow, but your serve can hit with force. You
will also need to hit the power gauge at a higher level.
