TENNIS - BOCCE - PICKLEBALL - TIKKYBALL

Tikkyball is a modified version of Pickleball, which is a racket sport typically played with 4 players (2 on each team), but it can be played with just 2 if you want the workout of a lifetime. The object of the game, similar to tennis, is to hit the ball over the net in a way that makes the opponent make a mistake. If the opposing team lets the ball bounce twice on their side, hits the ball out of bounds on your side, hits it into the net, or makes a fault of any kind according to the rules, then they lose that point or rally. The first team to 11, or any other number agreed on, will win the match. A Tikkyball court is 20’ x 44’ which is the same size of a Pickleball court, and roughly half the size of a tennis court. It has a net in the middle similar to tennis that is about 36” tall. It goes up to around your waistline for the average person.

Tikkyball truly is a game for everyone. It’s very easy to learn and play, and it’s good for all ages. Anyone from 5 to 105 can play and have fun. Tikkyball can be as physically strenuous and exhausting as you want it to be. But even though Tikkyball can be easy on the body, specially on a har-tru surface, it is not 100% foolproof. Make sure you stretch before you play and if you have any doubts, see your doctor!

Equipment available to purchase at the Tennis Pro Shop. Lessons available seven days a week. Games Monday through Sunday 9:00 AM Looking forward to seeing you on the Tikkyball courts!
