When people are playing a game, I hear them say/yell at their teammates: "Sideout, guys!"?

Question

I thought that was only a term for the type of scoring being kept.

Answer 1

No! LOL! It is when a team wants the ball to be theses! Like whenb the other team is erving they want to serve! Get it?

Answer 2

It is an old team, back when scoring was different, but it also means that you want the serve back - thus preventing the other team from scoring.

Answer 3

scoring used to be that you wouldn't get a point if you weren't serving, so you would want to shut out the side and get the ball back so you could score.

Answer 4

you yell sideout when the other team is serving. it means get the ball back so your team is serving

Answer 5

i didnt know what it ment either for the longest time! Its basically saying the ball back (so they can serve)

Answer 6

side out means you want the ball back

Answer 7

They don't have the serve on their side so they  say -Side out so that they break the serve and get back points.

Answer 8

they yell that so they can prevent the other team from scoring and therefore getting a sideout. a sideout is when the serving team does not succesfully convert their serve into a point and the ball is given to the opposing team

Answer 9

Sideout means that the other team doesn't get their serve over.

There's a cheer for it to...

S-I...S-I-D...S-I-D-E-O-U-T sideout...clap,clap...(Your team name)...clap,clap.

I've screwed up because I was laughing at how they were saying it.
