A tennis court is where the game of tennis is played.

It is a firm rectangular surface with a low net

stretched across the center. The same surface can be used to play both doubles and singles.

Dimensions

The dimensions of a tennis court.

Tennis is played on a rectangular flat surface, usually of grass, clay, concrete (hard court) or a synthetic
suspended court. The court is 23.78 meters (78 feet) long, 10.97 meters (36 feet) wide. Its width is 8.23
meters (27 feet) for singles matches and 10.97 meters (36 feet) for doubles matches.[1] The service line
is 6.40 meters (21 feet) from the net.[1] Additional clear space around the court is needed in order for
players to reach overrun balls for a total of 18.3 meters (60 feet) wide and 36.7 meters (120 feet) long. A
net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal
ends. The net is 1.07 meters (3 feet 6 inches) high at the posts, and 0.914 meters (3 feet) high in the
center.

Bowling (13751425; late Middle English bowle, variant of boule < Middle French < Latin bulla bubble,
knob; compare boil1, bola +ing)[1][2] is a sport in which players attempt to score points by rolling a
bowling ball along a flat surface, usually a wooden or other synthetic surface, either into pins or to get
close to a target ball.[3] The most common types include ten-pin, nine-pin, candlepin, duckpin and five-
pin bowling, as well as multiple outdoor variations.

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to
score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.[1] It has been a part of
the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since 1964. It is also the national Sport of Sri Lanka.

The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: A player on one of the teams
begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from
behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The
receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3
times but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. . Typically, the first two touches
are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the
serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded in their court.

In basketball, the basketball court is the playing surface, consisting of a rectangular floor with tiles at
either end. In professional or organized basketball, especially when played indoors, it is usually made
out of a wood, often maple, and highly polished. Outdoor surfaces are generally made from standard
paving materials such as concrete, asphalt or outdoor suspended modular court.

Basketball courts come in different shapes and sizes and colors. In the NBA, the court is 94 feet by 50 ft
(28.65m by 15.24m). Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules,[2] the court is minutely
smaller, measuring exactly 28 m by 15 m (91'10.4" by 49'2.6"). A high school court is slightly smaller, at
84' by 50' and some elementary schools have courts measuring 74' x 42'. In amateur basketball, court
sizes vary widely. The baskets are always 10' (3.05m) above the floor (except possibly in youth
competition). Basketball courts have a three-point arc at both baskets. A basket made from behind this
arc is worth three points; a basket made from within this line, or with a player's foot touching the line is
worth two points. The free-throw line, where one stands while taking a foul shot, is located within the
three-point arc.[3

A billiard, a type of shot in cue sports (see below)

Billiards: cue sports in general, including pool, carom billiards, snooker, etc.; the term "billiards" by itself
is also sometimes used to refer to any of the following more specifically:

Carom billiards (also known as French billiards) games in general (a chiefly non-British usage)

Three-cushion billiards even more specifically, the most popular form of carom billiards worldwide (the
most common specific usage)

The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to
fly differently than the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher
drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher
top speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind,
competitive badminton is played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational
activity, often as a garden or beach game.
