Historical rulebook: not the current rules. The current rules are here (USHA One-Wall Rulebook, as of 26 January 2025).

Points are scored only by the serving side when it serves an ace (a serve which is untouched by the receiver’s hand) or wins a rally. When the serving side loses one rally in singles or two rallies in doubles, it loses the serve. Losing the serve is called an "out."
