JS Tennis Coaching run several tournaments and competitions during the year and these include our signature Triples Tournament. Keep in touch with us to find out when the next fun tournament will be.
FAST FOUR
1. Matches will be played as the best of two (2) short sets (first to four (4) games) with a tie-break (first to seven (7) points, two points clear at six (6) points all) played at three (3) games all. If at the conclusion of the second set, the score is 1 set all, a match tie-break (first to ten (10) points, two points clear at nine (9) points all) will be played to determine the outcome of the match.
2. All singles and doubles matches will be played using no-ad scoring, with the receiver choosing the side to receive the service from when the game reaches deuce. In doubles the receiving team cannot change positions to receive this deciding point. The player/team who wins the deciding point wins the game.
"Triple the Fun of Doubles"
What is Triples?
Triples is arguably the greatest game to play in the sport of tennis and is a signature Cardio Tennis game. Triples Tennis is fast moving, engaging, and accommodates 6-8 players per court with tons of touches on the ball.
The Triples game is 3 vs 3 with one player at net and two players on the baseline. Players complete a half-court circular rotation after every point.
Do I need to be a tennis player to do Triples?
Everyone is welcome at Triples! If you have an open mind, can move, follow directions and looking for a fun social experience you are in!
I'm a very skilled tennis player, is this for me?
Absolutely! Highly skilled tennis players love Triples! College and professional players have always participated in Triples events. The orange ball allows the highly skilled player to hit the ball as they normally do and the athletes on the other side of the court can return it.
Is Triples played with 1 or 2 bounces?
As with all Cardio Tennis activities, we suggest adding the 2-bounce rule...it's a game-changer! The benefits of a two-bounce rule include instilling confidence and empowerment in all levels of athlete, enhancing strategical thinking, and creating heightened reaction skillsets. Best of all, the points last longer, resulting in a better workout and longer, more intense rallies!
How many people can play?
Triples events are designed for 6 - 8 athletes per court, with 3 to 4 athletes per Triples team. Throughout the event, you will experience competing with and against several different teams/athletes.
Why is Triples played with the orange cardio ball?
Our #1 priority is always safety. Because the orange ball is softer, it is very unlikley you will get hurt if you are hit by a ball or turn an ankle if you accidentally step on it.
The orange ball is the great equalizer and allows all ability levels to play together in a fun, safe and challenging way. The rallies are longer upping the fitness element and enjoyment.
It builds confidence at the net and improves strokes as one has more time to re-act to the ball and must accelerate the racket head through the ball.
It improves fitness. Because the ball bounces lower, one is more inclined to use squatting and lunging movements to get to the ball.
The red, orange and green balls are great training tools for players of all ability and fitness levels and ages.
