The Appeal of Outdoor Courts

An Open Environment

Outdoor courts let you play freely in an open environment. At facilities with night lighting, use after sunset is also possible.

Weather and What to Bring

Because it is outdoors, having a hat, sunglasses, and a drink as measures against strong sunlight and wind makes it comfortable. Because availability may change in rainy weather, check in advance.

Tips for Improving and Enjoying

Be Aware of the Kitchen

The dink (a soft, dropping shot) in the non-volley zone (kitchen) near the net is the key to tactics. Being mindful of control rather than power shots makes it easier to seize the initiative in a rally.

Keep Going with Fellow Players

Going to the same court regularly deepens coordination with opponents and partners and speeds up improvement. Because it is a doubles-centered sport, making friends is also part of the fun.
