Tennikoit

Tennikoit, also known as ring tennis, is a racket sport played on a court divided by a net. It involves two players (singles) or two teams of two players (doubles) hitting a rubber ring, called a "koit" or "ring," back and forth over the net with the aim of landing the koit within the opponent's court boundaries.

The game combines elements of tennis and volleyball. Players use their hands to throw and catch the koit, avoiding the use of rackets or other implements. The objective is to force the opponent to fail to catch the ring, throw it out of bounds, or commit a fault according to the rules.

Tennikoit courts are smaller than tennis courts. The game requires agility, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking. While not as globally widespread as tennis or volleyball, tennikoit is popular in certain regions, particularly in Germany, South Africa, and parts of Asia. Competitive tennikoit tournaments exist at local, national, and international levels.

The scoring system in tennikoit varies depending on the specific rules being used, but generally, points are awarded when a player or team successfully lands the koit within the opponent's court or when the opponent commits a fault. Matches are typically played to a predetermined number of points or games.

The sport's history can be traced back to the early 20th century in Germany. It developed as a recreational activity and evolved into a competitive sport with standardized rules and regulations.
