Serve the ball by first tossing it up with the fire key, then hit it immediately by another push of the fire key. Be sure to get your timing right when you serve, depending on how good your timing is, your serve will be counted as IN, FAULT or NET as it hits the opponent's court. When a ball hits the net and 'NET' is called you take another serve. CALLS BY THE JUDGES If a ball lands on a line it is in. In singles the play is bounded by the inside lines.
