Beach Tennis

Introduction

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.

Overall Information

The NET Sports Hall social beach tennis tournament takes place on Sundays from 16:00–18:00, with one remaining event on April 12!

Rules

Every game lasts 15-20 minutes depending on the registrated teams.
The tournament will be held either in a round-robin format or divided into groups, depending on the number of registered teams.
The tournaments are played with a fixed partner, but you can also register individually – we will help you find a partner!
Draws are allowed in group stage matches, but not in placement matches. Win gives 3p, draw 1p and loss 0p.
The winner is determined by points. If two teams are tied on points, the result of their head-to-head match is used. If more than two teams are tied, ranking is decided by win–loss ratio.
The best players will be awarded. We also keep an overall season ranking, so each stage gives you the opportunity to collect points toward the general standings.
Points are awarded to participants in each stage as follows: 1st place – 5 points, 2nd place – 4 points, 3rd place – 3 points, and all other participants – 2 points.
