Looking after it

Let it dry before it goes back in the case, and shake grass and grit out of the net and the pole sections. A football hit hard into a net does not damage nylon, but a stud caught in it will, so keep it clear of feet when it is on the ground.

About this product

A 4.27m net set low for football tennis.

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.

A 4.27m wide net on painted steel poles, with the net in nylon, set low for football tennis.

Three marked height settings, 107cm, 120cm and 155cm, so the same net covers football tennis, volleyball and badminton.

Free standing, so it needs no stakes and works on grass, a driveway, sand or indoors.

Setup takes about two minutes and needs no tools.

Packs into the supplied carry case with the pole sections threaded on a bungee cord.

Football tennis is the game that teaches touch faster than any drill, because the ball has to come down under control or it does not come back over.

[object Object]

It is free standing, so there are no stakes to push into a dry pitch or a driveway. That also means it can be moved four metres to the left when someone points out that the flower bed is in the way.

The net is nylon, which takes a ball hit hard without complaint. The thing to keep it away from is studs, since a caught stud is what tears any net.

At the higher settings it is the same net we sell for volleyball and badminton, so a garden that owns one owns all three games.

Still deciding?

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What height should a football tennis net be?

There is no single standard for a garden game. The lowest setting, 107cm, is what most people use, and it is what this net is sold at.

How wide is it?

4.27m, which is comfortable for one a side and workable for two a side.

Can I raise it for other games?

Yes. The poles are marked at 107cm, 120cm and 155cm, so the same net covers volleyball and badminton.

Do I need to peg it into the ground?

No. It is free standing, which is why it works on a driveway or a dry summer pitch where pegs will not hold.

What surfaces does it work on?

Grass, tarmac, decking, sand or an indoor floor. It needs flat ground rather than a particular surface.

How long does it take to set up?

About two minutes.

Do I need tools?

No.

What is the net made of?

Nylon.

What are the poles made of?

Painted steel.

Will a hard shot damage the net?

No. Nylon takes a struck ball. What damages any net is a stud catching in it, so keep feet away when it is lying on the ground.

Does a ball bounce off it strangely?

It drops rather than rebounds, which is what you want. The net is there to be cleared, not played off.

How many people can play?

One a side is the usual game and two a side works across 4.27m. More than that and you want a bigger space than a net.

Is this a training aid or a game?

Both. Football tennis is played for fun and used as a touch and control exercise, which is why coaches use it as a warm up.

Can I use it indoors?

Yes, in a hall or a sports space where a ball is allowed.

Does it come with a ball?

No, this is the net, poles and carry case.

Does it come with a carry case?

Yes.

Will parts get lost?

The pole sections are threaded on an internal bungee cord, so they stay together in the bag.

Can I leave it up between games?

For a day or a weekend, yes. Leaving it out all season is what wears any portable net out.

Will wind knock it over?

It can move in strong wind like any free standing net. Weighting the feet settles it.

Can I use it on a beach?

Yes, and it does not need stakes, which is what usually fails in dry sand.

Is it suitable for a club?

It is a recreation and training net rather than a match fixture.

What is the difference between this and your volleyball net?

The height it is set to. It is the same net.

What is the difference between this and your badminton net?

Again, the height. Badminton is played at the top setting, football tennis at the bottom one.

How do I clean it?

Shake the grass out, wipe the poles down, let it dry.

What if it rains on it?

That is fine. Dry it before it goes back in the case, or it will smell.

How heavy is it to carry?

Light enough to carry in one hand in its case to the park.

Will it fit in a car boot?

Yes, in its case.

Can the net be repaired?

Small tears in nylon can be repaired. Contact us before buying anything.

How long does delivery take?

Five to seven days across the UK, free on this order because it is over £75.

Can I return it?

Yes. It is a stock item, so you have the full 14 day right to change your mind alongside your faulty goods rights.

The complete guide

Setting up a football tennis game in a garden

4 min read The Outdoor Sports Company

Why the game is worth the net

Football tennis is one ball, one net and no goalkeeper, and it makes people better at football without anyone calling it training.

You 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.

Height, and why the lowest setting

The poles are marked at 107cm, 120cm and 155cm. For football tennis, use 107cm.

Higher 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.

At 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.

Marking out a court without marking anything

Nobody paints lines on a lawn for a Sunday game, so use what is there.

Depth 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.

Use 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.

Watch what is behind the court. Greenhouse, window, flower bed. The ball goes long far more often than it goes wide.

Rules that make it work in a garden

Keep it simple and the game runs itself.

One bounce allowed, then up to three touches. That is the version most people settle on, and it suits mixed abilities.

Serve underarm from the back line, drop and volley. Ambitious serving ends games early.

Net touch is a let, not a point. In a garden, arguing about a net cord is the fastest way to stop playing.

After the game

Two habits keep the net usable for years.

Keep 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.

Dry it before it goes in the case. Grass and damp folded away together is what makes a net smell in a shed.
