What You’ll Spend.

  • Paddle: $30-50 entry, $80-150+ for mid-range to pro carbon. start cheap. See how to choose a paddle.
  • Balls: $5-15 for a pack of depressurized Stage 2 balls.
  • Net (optional): $60-200 if your beach or club does not have one.
  • Everything else: nothing. you play barefoot, and public beach courts are free.

Compared with padel (court rental) or tennis (strung rackets, court time), beach tennis has one of the lowest barriers to entry in racket sports.
