platform tennis
Winter racquet sport
Platform tennis is a paddle sport played on an elevated aluminum deck surrounded by tensioned screens, typically outdoors in cold weather.
The court is smaller than a tennis court, and the screens are in play—balls can be returned off them.
The game uses solid paddles and depressurized tennis balls.
We play platform tennis all winter.
