Question

What if hits the back wall?

Donagan

Top Answerer

The ball remains in play. If your opponent was the last to hit the ball, it's your turn. Hit it before it touches the floor a second time after leaving your opponent's racquet.

Question

I wear glasses so I will need to get powered eye protection. Do I have to get them from an optomerist?

Community Answer

It would be ideal for you to get them from an optomerist, but there are many different options. If you have trouble deciding, ask someone whose advice you can trust, like your coach or parents.

Question

Can a ball still be played if it returns to the front wall before bouncing twice?

Lauren Morales

Community Answer

Yes it can. The ball at least needs to make it back without touching the floor or the ball is struck out.

Question

So if I hit the ball to the front wall and it hits then it hits the back wall and bounces will it still be in play?

Community Answer

In a serve, though, the ball must hit the front wall first and can only hit one side wall before bouncing once. If it hits the ceiling, back wall or a third wall before bouncing once, it is a fault.
