Play begins when the server is thrown the ball by a teammate and must then kick the ball over the
net whilst keeping one foot in the service circle.
Players may only touch the ball with their feet, head, knees and chest. Touching the ball with the
hand or any other part of the body can result in a fault and a point for the opposition.
Each team is allowed a maximum of three touches of the ball to return it back over the net without
letting it touch the ground.
Failure to return the ball over the net before it hits the ground results in a point to the opposition.

number of ways (see above).
The first team to reach 21 points wins a set. The first team to win two sets is declared the winner.
