Find tennis courtsBefore you step on court
A tennis racket, tennis balls and court shoes with good lateral support. Bring water and warm up before playing points.
Hit the ball over the net and into your opponent’s court so they cannot return it before it bounces twice. Win points to win games, games to win sets, and sets to win the match. Singles is one against one; doubles is two against two.
