paddle tennis

Racquet sport variant

Paddle tennis is a court game similar to tennis but played on a smaller court with solid paddles instead of strung rackets and a depressurized tennis ball.

The reduced court size and slower ball make for a more accessible game.

Platform tennis, played on an elevated court with heated surfaces and screened enclosures, is a related variant popular in colder climates.
