• The server must keep at least one foot on the floor when serving, the feet must not touch or cross the serving
line
• If the ball hits the net and lands in, a let is called; if the balls lands in the box and hits the wire fence it’s a fault
• If the ball lands in the box and hits the side wall or back wall, the ball must be played as in.

- what’s in and what’s out in Padel:
