GAME RULES    ABOUT THE GAME   


The strokes, grip, scoring and strategy of Paddle Tennis are the same as tennis. The server, however, is allowed only one underhand serve. In singles the server must allow the return of the serve to bounce once before rushing the net. 

The official paddle tennis ball is deadened. It is a regular pressurized tennis ball that has its internal pressure reduced by being punctured (with a hypodermic needle). When the ball is dropped from a height of six feet above the court the bounce should not be less than 31 inches (the height of the net), and not more than 33 inches.

The regulation court is 50 feet long by 20 feet wide. The same court is used for singles and doubles; there are no doubles alleys. A minimum of fifteen feet backspace and ten feet side space is recommended.
