Beach tennis Games
Beach Tennis games are played on the sand at the Beach Tennis Australia Club where the general public are most welcome to come on down and play a few sets.
You can do this, either with family, friends or maybe a corporate business group.
Beach tennis games are played on sand with a net separating the two opponents similar to a volleyball net.
The beach tennis equipment used is a paddle bats (no strings) and a Stage 2 (low compression "orange") ball.
Exactly the same scoring system is used as for regular tennis, except with the permanent use of no-Advantage, after Deuce.
Plus there is no second service and no service let.
Although mainly a doubles game, singles can also play a hard, fast game, usually on a smaller court.
If the ball hits the ground in the oppositions court then a point is scored.
If the opponent's hit or serve hits the net or is hit outside the court boundaries then a point is scored.
