Question

When is the ball considered out of play?

Answer 1

1. When the ball lands completely outside the boundary lines, it is out of play, even if it touches the ground or any other item outside the court.
2. It is also out of play if it comes into contact with the antenna or crosses the net outside.
3. The ball is out of play when the referee blows the whistle to signal a fault, such as a player stepping beyond the line during a serve or a double hit.
