Getting StartedIs Beach Tennis Hard?
The honest answer for anyone thinking about trying it.
No. beach tennis is easy to pick up, especially if you have played any racket sport or beach volleyball. Rallies are short, the court is small, and the depressurized ball is forgiving. mastering the smash and serve placement is what takes practice.
