CONTENTS:
•1 TOWER TENNIS
(ASSEMBLY REQUIRED)
•3 BALLS, 2 PADDLES
AND RULES
GOAL OF THE GAME:
Serve, return, and volley for points by hitting the ball into the tower with your paddle, and waiting for it to pop out of one
of the six ramps! You know where it goes in, but you never know where it will come out!
Stay on your toes and hit the ball back into the tower! The ball can only bounce once - otherwise it’s a point for the other
player. The first player to score 11 points wins!
Once the tower is assembled, both players grab a paddle and stand on opposite
sides of the tower. Make sure the tower is placed in a location that allows for a
ball to bounce on a flat surface after it falls from any of the six ramps.
The tower contains 6 circular openings – 3 teal and 3 pink. Each player chooses
a color and defends the 3 ramps corresponding to that color.
Once the ramps have been identified and assigned to each player, players will
volley for the right to make the first serve and start the game.
LETS GET STARTED!
HOW TO PLAY:HOW TO SERVE:
MATCH PLAY:
The serving player has two attempts to serve the ball into the tower. If they fail to
serve into the tower, the other player scores a point and earns the right to serve.
Once the ball has been served successfully into the tower, the volley begins.
Players now wait to see which chute the ball will fall from.
Players must hit the ball back into the tower if it falls out
of one of their ramps. They must do so before the ball
bounces twice (see left for example) - or they lose the
point to the other player.
If a player returns the ball into the tower only for it to fall
back through one of their own ramps, they must return the ball into the tower
again in the same manner they would if the other player had hit the ball into the
tower! That’s right, just keep the rally going!
Any time a player fails to return the ball into the tower after it has fallen through
one of their ramps, the other player scores a point.
Whichever player scores the point on the volley earns the right to serve for the
next point.
Play continues until one player has reached 11 points to win the game!
However, players must win by at least two points. So, if players are tied 10-10,
play continues until one player has two more points than their opponent.
A point is scored whenever the other player
fails to return the ball into the tower after it
has fallen from one of their ramps or if the
ball bounces twice before it is hit.
NOTE: If the ball ever bounces straight out
of the inside of the tower without falling
through a ramp, this is considered a failure
to return the ball into the tower and the
opposing player is awarded a point.

Assembly Instructions on the other side
Whether volleying for the serve or playing
for a point, play always begins with a serve.
For Professional or skilled players:
Strike the ball so that it bounces on the table
before going into the tower.
For younger players: Use your hand to
bounce the ball on the table, then hit the ball
directly into the tower with your paddle.
