Looks like fun!Click on the picture to view a video of beach tennis action.
Here are the basic rules of beach tennis:
- Court - similar in size to a beach volleyball court, 16m long x 8m wide; a sand surface.
- Net - like beach volleyball the net is high, between 1.7m and 1.85m.
- Equipment - paddle bats (no strings) are used with a depressurized tennis ball.
- Scoring - exactly the same scoring system is used as for regular tennis, except with the permanent use of no-Advantage (after Deuce), no second service and no service let.
- Playing the game - the game is predominantly played between doubles teams, although singles can be played on a smaller court; under and overarm serves are permitted and either member of the receiving team my receive the service; a point is won if the ball hits the ground in the opponents' court or if the opponents hit (or serve) the ball out or into the net.
