Soldiers Point Tennis Club

POP Tennis is an exciting new sport we offer at our tennis club.

Endorsed and promoted by Tennis Australia, POP Tennis is a paddle sport that is played just like tennis, but on a smaller court, lower net and with paddles. It's easy to learn and fun for all ages and skill levels!

POP Tennis is set up on our Court 3 and played simultaneously as our Social tennis Sessions are played.

What is POP Tennis?
POP Tennis is the closest complementary format to tennis played on a smaller court with a lower compression tennis ball that allows for longer rallies and more fun. It has been played for a hundred years in the USA under the original name, Padel.

How is POP Tennis played?
POP Tennis is best played on synthetic grass courts like ours, using temporary lines and nets. It is a great starter sport for all ages and also for those tennis players who want to transition to a sport with less running. You can move from place to place on the court with just one or two steps. But if you want it ican be very fast moving and loads of fun. Scoring is the same as tennis and games are played the same way as tennis.
