2

• This is what your score sheet will look like.
• Take a minute to get familiar with it.

3
This is what a completed score sheet looks like.
Take a minute to review and then well get
started.
4

• Write the date at the top of the form (anywhere)
• Fill in both team names according to which side
  of the court they are playing on to make it
  easier for you.
• Indicate which team is serving first by writing
  1st Serve next to that teams name.
• Enter line-up provided to you by each Coach.

5

• The 1st server, player 10, for the Sweethearts
  serves and earns a point. You write the number 1
  in the first square next to that players number.
• Player 10 (still the same server) serves again
  and earns another point. You write the number 2
  in the second square next to that players
  number.
• Player 10 serves again and does NOT earn a point
  for her team. You put a dash in the box next to
  the number 2 and you then write the number 1 with
  a circle around it next to the 1st server of
  team SWAT, player 6. Why not player 8, the
  first player listed, you may wonder? The SWAT
  team rotates prior to their first serve this is
  something that is not done in the earlier grade
  levels.
• The number 1 with a circle around it indicates
  that it is a point earned by rally scoring.

6

• Now the 1st server for SWAT serves and does NOT
  earn a point for her team. You put a dash in the
  box next to the number 1 with a circle around it
  and you then write the number 3 with a circle
  around it next to the 2nd server of team
  Sweethearts, player 7.
• Player 7 serves and earns a point. You write
  the number 4 next to the circled number 3 on her
  line.
• Player 7 serves again and does NOT earn a point
  for her team. You put a dash next to the number
  4 and then write the number 2 with a circle
  around it next to player 4, the second served,
  on team SWAT.
• SWAT player 4 serves and does not earn a point
  for her team. You put a dash next to the circled
  number 2 and then write the number 5 with a
  circle around it next to Sweethearts player 1,
  their 3rd server.
• Sweethearts player 1 serves and earns a point
  for her team. You write the number 6 next to the
  circled number 5.
• Sweethearts player 1 serves again and does NOT
  earn a point for her team. You put a dash next
  to the number six.

7

• You just put a dash next to the number 6 on the
  line of Sweethearts player 1.
• Now enter the number 3 with a circle around it
  next to SWAT player 1, their 3rd server.
• SWAT player 1 serves and does NOT earn a point
  for her team. You enter a dash next the circled
  number 3 you just entered.
• Enter the number 7 with a circle around it next
  to Sweethearts player 6, their 4th server.
• Sweethearts player 6 serves twice and earns two
  points for her team. You enter number 8 and
  number 9 next the circled number 7 just as youve
  been doing.
• Sweethearts player 6 does NOT earn a point on
  her third serve attempt. You enter a dash next
  to the number 9.
• You enter the number 4 with a circle around it
  next the SWAT player 3.
• SWAT player 3 serves and does NOT earn a point.
  You enter a dash next to the circled number 4.

  it next to Sweethearts player 3.
• Sweethearts player 3 serves and does NOT earn a
  point. You enter a dash next to the circled
  number 10.

  number 10 of Sweetheart player 3.

  to SWAT player 5.

  next to Sweetheart player 5.
• Sweetheart player 5 serves three times and earns
  three points for her team. You enter the numbers
  12, 13, and 14 next to the circled number 11.
  She attempts to serve again and does NOT earn a
  point for her team. You put a dash next to the
  number 14.
• Enter the number 6 with a circle around it next
  to SWAT player 8 (at the top of the line-up). I
  recommend doing this after the dashes to help you
  from becoming confused.
• SWAT player 8 serves and does NOT earn a point
  for her team. Enter a dash next to the circled
  6.
• Enter the number 15 with a circle around it next
  to Sweethearts player 10 (youre back up to the
  1st server). Again, I recommend doing this after
  the furthest dashes to help you from becoming
  confused.

9

• You just entered the number 15 with a circle
  around it next to Sweethearts player 10.
• At this point it looks like the Coach of the
  Sweethearts puts in some SUBS.
• The players will walk up in front of the 10 ft
  line and touch hands. You enter the number of the
  player entering the court next to the number of
  the player leaving the court. In this case,
  player 2 is taking the place of player 10.
• Sweethearts player 2 (just entered as a SUB for
  player 10) serves three times and earns three
  points. You enter numbers 16, 17, and 18 next to
  the circled number 15.
• Sweethearts player 2 serves again and does NOT
  earn a point for her team. Enter a dash next to
  number 18 and enter the number 7 with a circle
  around it next to SWAT player 6.
• SWAT player 6 serves and earns a point for her
  team. Enter the number 8 next to the circled
  number 7.
• SWAT player 6 serves again and does NOT earn a
  point for her team. Put a dash next to the
  number 8 and enter number 19 with a circle around
  it next to Sweethearts player 7.
• Sweethearts player 7 serves and does NOT earn a
  point for her team. Enter a dash next to the
  circled number 19.

10

• You just entered a dash next to the circled
  number 19 of Sweethearts player 7.
• Enter the number 9 with a circle around it next
  to SWAT player 4.
• The SWAT Coach SUBS in player 3 for player 4.
  You write the 3 next to player 4.
• SWAT player 3 serves and does NOT earn a point
  for her team.
• Enter a dash next to the circled number 9.
• Write the number 20 with a circle around it on
  Sweetheart player 1s line.
• Sweethearts Coach SUBS player 8 for player 1.
  Write 8 next to 1.
• Sweethearts player 8 serves twice and earns two
  points. Enter numbers 21 and 22 next to the
  circled number 20.
• Sweethearts player 8 serves again and does NOT
  earn a point. Enter a dash next to number 22.
• Enter the number 10 with a circle around it on
  SWAT player 1s line.
• SWAT player 1 serves and does NOT earn a point.
  Enter a dash next to the circled number 10.
• Enter the number 23 with a circle around it on
  Sweethearts player 6s line.
• Were almost done, I promise!

11

• You just entered the number 23 with a circle
  around it on Sweethearts player 6s line.
• Sweethearts Coach SUBS player 11 for player 6.
  Write 11 next to 6.
• Sweethearts player 11 serves and earns a point.
  Enter number 24 next to the circled number 23.
• The SWAT Coach calls a time-out. Circle the
  number 1 next to Time Outs under the SWAT team
  name.
• Players go back to their positions on the court.
• Sweethearts player 11 serves again and earns
  another point. Enter number 25 next to number
  24.
• 25 is the magic number when a team has a
  two-point lead.
• The game is over.
• Write the final score on the blank line next to
  each teams name. I like to underline the final
  score on the sheet just to make it easier for the
  people entering the information on the website to
  read.

12

• Teams change sides.
• Coaches give you new line-ups and you enter the
  information for each team.
• Sweethearts served 1st in the first game, so SWAT
  serves 1st in the second game. (If a third game
  is needed, another coin toss will determine who
  serves 1st this is another difference between
  the leagues.)

13

• SWAT player 6 serves three times and earns three
  points. 1, 2, 3. Missed the fourth serve. -
  next to 3.
• Number 1 with a circle around it next to
  Sweetheart player 7 (remember they rotate before
  their first serve).
• Sweetheart player 7 does NOT earn a point. -
  next to the circled number 1.
• Number 4 with a circle around it next to SWAT
  player 4.
• SWAT player 4 does NOT earn a point. - next to
  circled number 4.
• And so on and so on . . .
• Enter SUBS as they happen.
• Circle Time Outs as they are called.

14

• Ive included the final two games for you to
  review. Notice the third game the 1st server
  for SWAT, player 6 . . . just as the 3rd-6th Rec
  leagues are only allowed to earn 3 points while
  serving, 6th Comp-8th Comp are only allowed to
  earn 5 points while serving.
• You do NOT count the Rally Point as one of the 5
  possible points that can be earned. Once a
  player has successfully earned 5 points, the
  service goes to the other team but NO Rally Point
  is awarded. See Sweethearts player 7. No Rally
  Point was entered.
• When youre all done, look at the score sheet and
  finish any of the little things you may have
  forgotten.
• Sign the score sheet and put it in the folder on
  the table.
