Tennis in the Dark is a new and exciting way of enjoying tennis. The action takes place in darkness with the only illumination coming from UV lights. Lines, net, ball, rackets and players’ outfits are fluorescent and glow under the UV light. The court size is smaller than a normal tennis court and the rackets and balls are lighter allowing those who have never played tennis to participate. And to add to the fun, the game is accompanied by pulsating dance music from hip DJs.
