It appears that more teams are falling foul of the illegal screen serve this year, not sure why this is but ultimately this fault is the
responsibility of the server, who must pay attention to the teams stack or line up on court.
FIVB rule 13.5 states that the serve can not pass over two or more players of the serving team, this is considered a screen,
which is hiding the flight of the ball from the opposition (particularly on a low flighted ball) and is shown to the right.
Coaching Note: The serving zone i.e. the baseline is nine metres wide, if you are using a team stack, make sure your server uses another part of the baseline.
