5.What are the differences between the Street Tennis to Go kit and the Street Tennis Recreational kit?
The only difference is the net system in each kit.
The Street Tennis to Go Kit includes a nylon net and frame system that assembles and disassembles in minutes, making it super portable.
The Street Tennis Recreational Kit includes an easy to assemble post and base stand system which is designed to accommodate a permanent installation but it is also portable. It is recommended that the base stands are filled one time with sand or cement powder. Nylon anchor ropes are included to keep the net tight.
*Sand or cement not included in kits
6.What are the differences between the Rally & Match balls?
The Rally ball and the Match ball are the same size but the Match ball is more dense making it a little faster. Street Tennis balls are designed specifically for play on all terrain types.
7.What is the difference between the “To Go” Frame System and the “Recreational” PVC Net System?
Both Street Tennis Net Systems are durable and easy to set up. Street Tennis To Go has a Frame Net System and is lighter and very portable. You simply connect the the frame tubes all together and slide the net over each post.
The Street Tennis Recreational PVC Net System has two base stands that should be be filled (one time only) with sand or cement powder for stability*. You then insert the two posts into the base stands and slide the net over the posts. Once you have your net in position you can install the nylon anchor ropes and hooks to keep your net line nice a tight. While the PVC Net System is portable it is ideal for permanent or semi-permanent installations.
*Sand or cement not included in kits
8.Can you really play Street Tennis on grass?
Yes you can play Street Tennis on just about any flat surface, including asphalt, concrete, gravel, tile, wood, sand and most types of decently maintained grass.
9.Is Street Tennis a good instructional tool for traditional tennis?
Street Tennis is the ideal tool for teaching tennis to youngsters and beginners. The Street Tennis ball behaves just like a traditional ball but at a slower pace. Weather in schools or at tennis clubs instructors can teach all the shots from serves to volleys with topspin and backspin. The Street Tennis Net Systems setup and teardown in minutes allowing more time for play and less time for preparation.

11.Is there a warranty or a money back guarantee?
However, with close to 100,000 kits sold internationally, no kit has ever been returned.
12.Can I use standard tennis balls with Street Tennis?
Yes, but the Street Tennis balls were specially designed to be easier to use and more compatible with the To Go kits, especially on non-traditional terrain like sand, grass, gravel, asphalt and more. You can use regular tennis balls, but they will not perform as well.
When you play Street Tennis, you’ll understand that the ball makes the difference.
13.How long do the Street Tennis kits last?
All of the Street Tennis metal and PVC net components are built to be exceptionally durable and long lasting, for more than a decade of play. Both base systems (metal & PVC) are essentially damage proof with regular use. If anything should happen to them within five years of using the kit, Street Tennis will replace the broken component free of charge.
The tennis balls and rackets will wear after continuous use, just as traditional tennis balls and rackets would, but the quality is industry standard and supports long time use.
14.How does Street Tennis compare to a tennis club membership?
Street Tennis was conceived by a tennis club owner as an entry point to get more people playing tennis by making quality gear and a simple court affordable and accessible to everyone. We hope that many Street Tennis players will go on to enjoy traditional tennis and that one day a Street Tennis player will rank amongst the greatest tennis players. Could this be you or one of your kids?
Once you play Street Tennis, you’ll understand why hundreds of thousands of people around the world love it!
