Serving
Press
A
to start a fl at/safe serve. Press
A
again to set the power level on the serve
meter and hit the serve. The serve must land
in the service court diagonally opposite to
the server.
If you do not start a serve within 20 seconds,
your player will automatically hit a low power
fl at/safe serve.
Fault—
If the ball fails to land inside or on the
lines bounding the service court, the serve is in fault and must
be replayed. Two faults on a serve—called a double fault—results
in losing the point to your opponent.
Let—
If the serve hits the net and falls in the correct service court
it’s called a let. If a let is called, the point is replayed.
Ace—
A point scored on a serve that your opponent fails to touch.
Coach tip
Mix up your serve with different serve types to
keep your opponent off balance (see page 10).
ITZ
M e t e r
The ITZ meter tracks the energy your play
is generating. The crowd feeds this energy
but you create it by hitting great shots, acing
serves, taking risks, and winning points.
