Serving turns in doubles
Rules
Johan B Asked 9 years ago
Hey super coach!
Could you please clarify the doubles rules?
I've understood that you serve against different players every set.
What determines who serves first in the sets after the first one?
Do you change the serving order when a team reaches points in the final possible set?
Thanks!

Hi Johan,
You do serve to different players each game.
In Game 1 if Player A is serving to Player X, in Game 2 Player X would serve to Player A.
In the 2nd game the team that is due to serve first can decide who is serving first. Then the appropriate person needs to receive. In the final game of a match when one pair each 5 points, the receiving team changes receivers.
It can be a bit tricky but hope this clears it up for you.

Thank you!
In the last game, you change both receivers and sides?
Yes you change sides as well.
