Beach Tennis

At NET Sports Hall, beach tennis can be played on the first floor across six beach volleyball courts by lowering the net height. Beach tennis is a fast-paced, fun, and engaging sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and beach volleyball. It is played on sand using a special racket and ball, where the goal is to keep the ball in the air and play it over the net without letting it touch the ground.
For doubles, the court dimensions are the same as in beach volleyball. For singles, the court width can be slightly reduced if needed. The most common format is doubles (2 vs 2). All necessary equipment is available on-site – rackets and balls can be rented or purchased.

Despite its name, beach tennis differs from traditional tennis in terms of rules, racket, court size, ball, and playing surface. Beach tennis is less technical than classic tennis, making it suitable for players of all levels. The ball is lighter and played at lower pressure, which slows the game down, and unlike in regular tennis, the ball is not allowed to bounce on the ground. The scoring system is similar to tennis, using the 15–30–40 format. However, unlike traditional tennis, there is no second serve – the first serve must be successful.
Matches are typically played to one set, either to 6 or 9 games, or in a best-of-three sets format.
