The first opportunity to score a point happens when it’s your turn to serve.

The serve is the first and only opportunity for an individual player on a team to score a point by themselves.


Every other point scoring opportunity has to be done with two or three players working together to put the ball on the opponents floor without them being able to pass or dig up the ball.
