How to play Serve + 1 Pressure Set

Server calls the serve target and the next-ball target before serving.

Step 2

Receiver returns the serve into play.

Step 3

Server scores only if the serve is legal and the plus-one ball reaches the called target.

Scoring

How the result works

A legal serve plus a clean called next-ball target scores one point.

Example: Server calls the serve target and the next-ball target before serving.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Counting a good serve without the follow-up. The plus-one ball is required.

Safety: Give the server room to land and pause before chasing any wide plus-one ball.
