Kicking the ground when serving
Rules
Ardak . Asked 2 weeks ago
Hi, coach!
Kicking the ground loudly is really distracting when the opponent is serving. Is it legal?
Best wishes, Ardak

Hi Ardak,
It can be distracting. As long as it is part of the serving action it is usually considered to be fine. If the player is deemed to be doing it purely to distract the opponent then the umpire can stop them from doing it.
The action of pushing your leg downwards with force can help you with the movement after your serve to get you into a good position to follow up on the next ball.
