BlitzKrieg (Sport)
Blitzkrieg (German, "lightning war"; ) is a competitive team sport played on a tennis court with tennis balls. The rules are much different then tennis and Blitz is more action packed and fast paced. Blitzkrieg is a gentlemans game and the closest person to the play makes the call. Blitzkrieg is a fairly new game that orginated in the small West Michigan town of Caledonia Township.
