Do I need to throw the ball up when serving?

Rules

Chee Koo Asked 14 years ago

Coach,

My friend told me that when I am serving I must throw the ball up high. Is this correct?

Hi Chee,

Your friend is correct. The rules state that when you are serving you must throw the ball up at least 6 inches.
