Beach Tennis

What is Beach Tennis?

Beach Tennis is the sandy sensation of the game you know and love, with people playing socially and competitively around the world. Similar to tennis, Beach Tennis is played with paddles with a lower-compression version of the tennis ball. The big twist, of course, is the terrain. Beach Tennis is played on a sandy surface, with a smaller court and no-bounce rule that gives a similar feel to beach volleyball. Even if you’re new to beach sports, Beach Tennis is easy to pick up and can be played by a range of ages and abilities.
