What’s New Contact with the net (2015/2016 Rule) Contact with the net by a player is a fault. Players may touch the post, ropes, or any other object outside the antennae, including the net itself, provided that it does not interfere with play. When the ball is driven into the net and causes it to touch an opponent, no fault is committed.
