How to Play
Beach Tennis is easy and fun to play! The basic rules are summarized below.
Court
Similar in size to beach volleyball, the court is 16m long x 8m wide.
Surface
Sand!
Net
The net is 1.7m or 5'7'' in height.
Equipment
Paddles (no strings) and Stage 2 (low compression orange) balls are used.
The Rules
The same scoring system is used as for no-Ad regular tennis. So after deuce, the next point wins. There is no second serve and if the serve hits the net it is in play.
Playing the game
The game is mostly played as doubles, although singles can be played on a smaller court (4.5m). Under and overarm serves are permitted and either member of the receiving team may return the service. A point is won if the ball hits the ground in the opposing court or if the opponents hit (or serve) the ball out or into the net.
