What is Futnet? In a court divided by a 1.10 m high net, indoors or outdoors, two teams consisting of one, two or three players aim – without touching the net – to score a point, hitting the ball with any part of their body except for the hands and making it bounce in the opponent's area in a way so as to make it difficult for the other team to return it over the net. To put it simply its a sport that you can play indoors or outdoors using similar dimensions to a tennis court. The ball we use is similar to a football and the tactics are similar to volleyball. Exact dimensions and more information on the background of the sport can be found on the World Governing Body's website. Here's the link: http://unifut.net/futnet.php It shows an image of the dimensions that will make it easier for you to understand. Singles The dimension are similar to that of the service areas a tennis court. Service must be diagonal. After service players have 2 touches and just one bounce to get the ball back to the opponents side of the court. Doubles Dimensions are the same as above. This time each team has 3 touches between the two players and you cannot touch the ball twice consecutively. Triples Dimensions are bigger this time. The amount of touches are the same as in the doubles discipline. |
