POP TENNIS

An excellent sport for all ages, this POPular game offers a scaled-down version of Tennis.

POP Tennis—a modern twist on the classic paddle tennis of the late 1800s—combines the energy of tennis with a more accessible, fast-paced format. Played on a smaller court with solid paddles and specially designed balls that have 25% less compression than regular tennis balls, the game offers easier rallies, longer points, and less stress on the body.

Originally developed in Michigan and New York, POP Tennis has grown from a niche pastime to an international sport enjoyed on courts from Los Angeles to London. While it follows the same rules and scoring as traditional tennis, the key difference is in the serve: instead of an overhead power shot, players start each point with a single underhand serve, making it friendlier for beginners yet still challenging for competitive players.

One of POP Tennis’s greatest strengths is its versatility. It’s a sport that adapts to all ages, skill levels, and fitness goals, and it can be played indoors or outdoors on hard courts, clay, artificial turf, or even temporary setups. Whether you’re a seasoned tennis player looking to mix things up or a newcomer eager to pick up a racket sport without the steep learning curve, POP Tennis offers a perfect balance of competition and fun.
