Road tennis is a racket sport from Barbados, played on a smaller court divided by a wooden plank instead of a net. Players use paddles to hit a rubber ball, aiming to keep it in play and score points by making the opponent miss.

It is a popular and accessible sport that reflects the island’s culture and creativity.

A tennis ball is a small, hollow, ball used in the sport of tennis. It is made of a rubber core covered with a layer of felt, usually in a bright yellow color, which helps players see the ball more easily. It is designed to bounce well on the tennis court, providing players with control during rallies. Tennis balls are pressurized to give them a consistent bounce and speed, but they lose pressure over time, making them less effective for play. The main goal in tennis is to hit the ball over the net into the opponent's side of the court without letting it bounce twice.
