The server may serve from anyplace with the service zone, and must remain in the service zone until the served ball rebounds past the short line. The service is made by the server bouncing the ball on the floor and then striking the ball so it hits the front wall first and on the rebound, hits the floor behind the short line. After hitting the front wall, the ball may hit one side wall (if playing on three or four wall courts) in the air before hitting the floor.
