Nashua Rules Update - court jump service & curtain wall contact

Posted by Heather Achilles on Jun 19 2012 at 05:00PM PDT

Effective immediately we will be adjusting the service rule for the Nashua courts with regards to jump serves from the side of the court away from the gym enterance.  The previous rule was on any jump serve attempt, the server must land completely before the black line in the court.  Touching or landing past the black line resulted in a service fault.  The updated rule removes that restriction.

SERVICE FROM FAR SIDE OF NASHUA COURTS:

The server must initiate their service attempt behind the white end line of the court.  The black line a few feet in front of the white end line is referred to as the service line.

At the moment of the service hit or take-off for a jump service, the server must not touch the service line or the floor outside the service zone.  After the hit, the server may step or land outside the service zone, or inside the court.

 In addition, we have added a new rule with regards to contacting the curtain wall in the Nashua YMCA.  Players are not allowed to pursue a ball into the curtain if it results in more than incidental contact with the curtain.  Jumping into or pushing the curtain will result in a fault.  A fault will not be called for incidental contact such as lightly touching it with the hand or contact by a piece of clothing.  Basically any contact that results in the curtain being moved is a fault.
