History[edit] Powwowtennis was created by Ingo Röthele, a tennis player and tennis enthusiast, by trying to bring Tennis Sports in urban areas. The idea is to have the possibility to play tennis (foam small court tennis) wherever and whenever you want. Tennis in an fun and easy way for everyone, experienced or not. A get together of people who wants to do some sports on their sports with their crew.

Equipment[edit] Rackets[edit] The Powwowtennis rackets must be no shorter than 20.9 inches and no longer than 21.1 inches. Most manufacturers "21 inch" rackets fall within this variation despite being labelled as 21 inches in length. The rackets head size may be no greater than 107 square inches.

Balls[edit] Special foam balls have been developed to withstand heavy hitting. The official ball 9 cm in diameter and made from cut foam.

Court[edit] The dimensions of an official powwow tennis court are 12 m × 5 m for singles and 12 m × 6 m for doubles. However, variances of up to a metre are tolerated on all lines in order to make the game more accessible and varied.
