Throwing the ball up for service
Rules
alex fernandez Asked 12 years ago
in the service, when I throw the ball up, I can raise all that I want my hand? or I can not elevate my hand more than my head?

Hi Alex,
You can put your hand up as high as you want but the ball still has to raise 16cm from where it leaves your hand upwards.
