Doubles, men serve underhand
Lets are in play
one serve is allowed per point
The ball can NOT hit the sand. If it does, the opposing team receives a point
If the ball strikes the line in any way the shot is good
No part of a player's body or his/her equipment may touch the net or cross the plane of the net (over or under). If it does, that player's team will lose the point being played
The player serving must stay behind the base line while serving. If any part of a player's body touches the base line in his/her service motion before hitting the ball, it is considered a foot fault and the serving team will lose the point
Only one hit is allowed to get the ball over the net; in doubles, you may not pass the ball to your partne
