Oopsie...I think I used the wrong terminology.  I guess I should have
asked this question:

Is it legal for a server to start their serve approach (i.e. jump
serve) outside of the service area, as long as they jump and hit the
ball inside of the service area?

I think this question is also asked further down in the thread as
well.

Thanks again,

Martha
