  "description_short": "The same free standing net our badminton and volleyball players use, dropped to its lowest setting so the ball stays in play off the foot, the thigh and the head.",
  "description": "Why the game is worth the net\n\nFootball tennis is one ball, one net and no goalkeeper, and it makes people better at football without anyone calling it training.\n\nYou cannot let the ball run. Every touch has to be a decision, and the second touch has to be a decision about where the third one goes. Ten minutes of it does more for control than half an hour of passing in straight lines.\n\nHeight, and why the lowest setting\n\nThe poles are marked at 107cm, 120cm and 155cm. For football tennis, use 107cm.\n\nHigher than that and the ball has to be lifted properly every time, which sounds like a better game and is actually a shorter one, because rallies die on the first heavy touch.\n\nAt 107cm a half decent flick clears it, so rallies build. If everyone playing is good, go up a setting and watch the game get harder immediately.\n\nMarking out a court without marking anything\n\nNobody paints lines on a lawn for a Sunday game, so use what is there.\n\nDepth matters more than width. Four or five metres each side of the net is enough for singles. Give yourself more if you are playing two a side.\n\nUse cones, shoes or bags for the back line. The side lines usually take care of themselves, since the net is 4.27m and nobody chases a ball much wider than that.\n\nWatch what is behind the court. Greenhouse, window, flower bed. The ball goes long far more often than it goes wide.\n\nRules that make it work in a garden\n\nKeep it simple and the game runs itself.\n\nOne bounce allowed, then up to three touches. That is the version most people settle on, and it suits mixed abilities.\n\nServe underarm from the back line, drop and volley. Ambitious serving ends games early.\n\nNet touch is a let, not a point. In a garden, arguing about a net cord is the fastest way to stop playing.\n\nAfter the game\n\nTwo habits keep the net usable for years.\n\nKeep studs off it. The one thing that reliably tears a nylon net is a boot caught in the mesh while it is being packed up.\n\nDry it before it goes in the case. Grass and damp folded away together is what makes a net smell in a shed.",
  "llm_summary": "Football Tennis Net, also sold as a Portable Net For Football Tennis, a Football Net For Tennis or a soccer tennis net, from The Outdoor Sports Company at myoutdoorsports.co.uk. A free standing portable net, 4.27 metres wide, with a nylon net and painted steel poles, used at its lowest height setting for football tennis. Price GBP 79, reduced from GBP 99. The poles carry three marked settings: 107cm, 120cm and 155cm, so the same product is also sold as a volleyball net and as a badminton net, where 155cm is regulation badminton height. It uses no stakes and no tools, sets up in about two minutes, and stands on grass, tarmac, sand, decking or an indoor floor. The pole sections are connected by an internal bungee cord and the whole set folds into a supplied carry case. Care: dry it before storing, shake grit out of the pole sections, and keep it clear of studs, which are what tear a net. UK wide delivery, free over GBP 75, otherwise GBP 25, arriving in 5 to 7 days. A stock item, not made to order, so the 14 day change of mind cancellation right applies in full.",
