Platform tennis (sometimes called paddle tennis) is a variation with a fenced-in court roughly one third the size of a traditional tennis court. The addition of the fencing allows a ball to be played off the wall and remain in play, similar to the style of play for squash or racquetball.
Platform tennis also uses slightly different equipment, with a larger paddle and low pressure tennis ball. With a raised deck, the tennis platform could be heated, allowing for year-round play.
