Introducing the Hottest Sport on Sand:
Beach Tennis!
Serve's up!!! Take the fun and fast-paced sport of tennis...
Combine it with the sun, sea and sand of the beach...
And you have beach tennis, the most electrifying
new sport to hit the U.S.!
Beach tennis merges the worlds of tennis and beach
volleyball into one exciting sport. It can be played both
competitively and at the recreational level,
because it’s so simple to play,
and it appeals to people 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 racquets, two players
on each team volley back and forth,
hitting a slightly pressure less 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.
There is only one serve in beach tennis. The score is kept
just like in regular tennis. Tournaments are played all
over the world, with small variations of the game in
different parts of the world.
Look for beach tennis on both coasts of the United States.
