[Rule 6.A.] True Once the score has been called, the receiver cannot become "not ready" unless there is a valid hinder. [Rule 4.E.2] True While near the non-volley zone (NVZ), you swing to return a shot and completely miss the ball. Your partner, who is near the baseline behind you, cleanly returns the ball.
