The Two Bounce Rule

Why is the two bounce rule important?

-It makes the game more accessible to beginners.

-It slows down the game and makes it more strategic.

-It allows for more rallies and excitement.

How does the two bounce rule work?

-On the serve, the receiving team must let the ball bounce once before returning it.

-On the return of serve, the serving team must let the ball bounce once before returning it.

After the ball has bounced twice, either team can volley (hit the ball in the air) or groundstroke (hit the ball after it bounces).

Common mistakes to avoid

-Hitting the ball before it bounces twice.

-Volleying on the serve or return of serve.

-Stepping into the non-volley zone (NVZ).
