The objective is to hit the ball with your racquet so that it bounces off the front wall and hits the floor before your opponent can return it. 

A player scores a point whenever their opponent is unable to return the ball; or fails to hit the front wall. The first player to reach 15 points wins the set. (if tied, a 3rd and final set plays to 11 points)
