- Players MUST AVOID touching the balls at all times, SERVE practice WILL NOT be permitted.
If the guidelines are not followed, the Racquet Sports will hold the right to once again make the ball machine unavailable for reservations.

Each can rotates with the server. Balls will be marked with permanent marker or equivalent to identify specific can being used for each game.
