ABSTRACT:
A ball game assembly is disclosed for a ball game to be played with a tennis-type racquet, a net and a foam ball, whose speed and/or action is reduced to increase play activity. The tennis racquet is smaller than a conventional adult tennis racquet, e.g., a junior tennis racquet, and the game is played on a tennis court of reduced size, with a net dividing the court into halves. The ball is larger and lighter in weight than a tennis ball, and it moves slower and has a softer bounce than a tennis ball. Preferably the net is supported across the playing area by net supports that are positioned at mid-court on either side of the court.
