As we have already written, these are the new rules for this competition. The national teams of Brazil, Mexico, Turkey and China had the opportunity to check out the new rules.
We are presenting the rule number 1, from the game Mexico – Brazil: SERVE!
A player that makes this kind of service must land before the service line after hitting the ball.
As you can see in this video, the boys are still getting used to it, usually taking a float serve.
How would you rate this rule?

I honestly don’t see the use of changing every time the rules. People at some point don’t know anymore what the exact rules are, and at this time I’m talking about player, coaches, … , people with much affection for the sport. People that don’t know the sport, can’t follow at all this evolution of rules. In consequence they lose interest in the sport and stop following it.
Also if this rule would apply, this will for many youth teams an issue to learn this kind of services, as they don’t have the room behind the court as the professional player to learn this kind of service without landing in the court. I know courts where there’s only 1 meter behind the service lines.
If we want the game to become more spectacular again, we should simply raise the hight of the net. People are becomming taller and taller and jumping higher and higher, the logical evolution would be to raise the net hight.
IT will impact the service presure and the attack presure, resulting in longer rally’s.
Thanks just my personal opinion.
I wonder who has the same idea?
