Introducing the Hottest New Game in Town: Beach Tennis!
Take the fun and fast-paced sport of tennis … combine it with the sun, sea,music,fashion,beer and sand of the beach … and you have beach tennis, the hottest new game in town!
Beach tennis merges the worlds of tennis, beach volleyball and badminton into one exciting sport. It can be played both competitively and recreationally and because it’s so simple to play, it appeals to athletes and non-athletes of all ages.
So what exactly is beach tennis? It’s like regular tennis except it’s played on a regulation beach volleyball court. Using tennis rackets, two players on each team volley back and forth, hitting a tennis ball directly over the net without letting it bounce … it’s hard to make the ball bounce on sand! One hit per team is all that’s allowed.
Your team scores a point each time your opponents hit the ball outside the lines or let it hit the sand.
The Rules
The rules of beach tennis are similar to regular tennis:
• Scoring is 15 - 30 - 40 and no-ad deuce • At deuce, returning team chooses side (left or right) • Each match consists of one eight-game pro set, with a seven-point tiebreaker at 8-8 • Unlike regular tennis, you only get one chance to serve the ball. If your serve hits the net and goes over, it counts … just like in beach volleyball.
Remember, the Number One rule in beach tennis is to have fun!
