We’re so excited to announce the arrival of our brand-new beach tennis court at Oxford Falls — a first for Sydney ! With sand under your feet, lights for evening play, and a growing community, there’s never been a better time to get involved in this fast, fun, and addictive sport.
What is Beach Tennis?
Beach tennis is a high-energy racquet sport played on sand with paddles and a slightly depressurised ball. It combines elements of tennis, volleyball, and badminton — all in one dynamic, social, and sun-soaked game. Played in doubles, it’s easy to learn, fast to play, and incredibly fun from the very first hit.
How It Works
Beach tennis is typically played on a sand court measuring 16m x 8m (the same size as a beach volleyball court), with a net set at 1.70m for women and 1.80m for men. Players use solid paddles instead of traditional racquets, and the ball is slightly depressurised to slow it down for better rallies and control. The court surface adds a fun challenge, demanding quick footwork and agility. No volleys are allowed — everything is played out of the air, which keeps the game fast-paced and exciting. There are no overhead serves either — the serve is done underarm.
Where It All Began
Beach tennis originated on the beaches of Italy in the early 1980s, when a group of tennis enthusiasts started hitting balls over a volleyball net using their racquets. It quickly gained popularity across Europe, particularly in coastal towns where locals would gather for friendly matches in the sand. Over time, the sport developed its own rules, specialised equipment, and an international following — with professional tours, world championships, and a vibrant global community now driving its growth on beaches around the world.
Beach Tennis in Australia
Beach tennis first arrived in Australia around 2015, but in recent years, it’s gained serious momentum — especially with international players and passionate coaches driving the sport forward. Now, with courts like ours opening up around the country, more Aussies than ever are giving it a go… and loving it.
