Basic Rules of Beach Racket
Beach Racket is a simple sport to understand and play.
Just find a partner and hit the ball back and forth, aiming to keep it from touching the ground, that’s the main rule.
As you improve, you can start hitting the ball with more force, which is called an "attack."
Your partner will respond by defending the attack and returning the ball.
As you both get better, it becomes a true team effort with increased speed and precision.
It’s also an exciting sport for spectators!

In Beach Racket, you typically don’t keep score since the goal isn’t to win.
Instead, you can count how many times you hit the ball back and forth before it touches the ground and use this as your score if you wish.
Each time you play, you can aim to beat your previous high score.
