Rally, serve, and volley on a court with a racket and ball — tennis builds hand-eye coordination, agility, and tactical thinking, offering a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed socially or competitively.

The Essentials

How to play

  1. Grab a racket and stand on opposite sides of the net from your opponent.
  2. Serve the ball diagonally into the opponent's service box to start the point.
  3. Return the ball before it bounces twice, hitting it back over the net into the court.
  4. Rally back and forth until someone misses, hits out, or hits the net.
  5. Keep score using the tennis system: 15, 30, 40, game — win by two clear points.
  6. Win six games (by two) to take a set, and two sets to win the match.
