CLASSIC OUTDOOR GAME Deck tennis is a combination of tennis and a lesser-known game called quoits. Originating more than 100 years ago as a passenger ship game, this fun, fast-paced and athletic sport has remained popular from the school yard to the backyard. It also goes by many other names, including tenniquoits, tennikoit, ring tennis and deck rings. EASY TO LEARN Ring tennis is a simple-to-learn game with rules similar to conventional tennis. Players toss the rubber rings back and forth over a net or boundary line using one hand only to throw and catch. Points are earned when players on the opposing side fail to catch the ring or drop it, as long as the ring lands inside the court. Scoring can be the same as tennis, or players can decide that the first side with 15 points wins each set. FUN PARTY GAME This toss game is a fun activity for all sorts of outdoor events and gatherings, including cookouts and birthday parties. Most of us don’t have a home tennis court, but that’s no problem. Simply create your own lines and boundaries in the grass or sand, or buy an inexpensive net that can easily be set up and taken down. ALL AGES Tennikoit is suitable for all ages and skill levels. It’s played by men, women, teens and children. The soft rings are safe enough for indoor use, yet they’re strong enough to withstand the outdoors. Tennikoit can also go on the road as a game for tailgating, beach parties and camping trips. VERSATILE SET This rubber quoits set can be used for any type of ring toss game, not just deck tennis. Some of our customers have come up with other clever ways to use them, including as a dog toy for catching and fetching, and in gyms and workout studios to keep stability balls from rolling around. – Champion Sports Deck Tennis Ring Set – 12 Sponge Rubber Rings – Royal Blue, Green, Red, Orange, Purple and Yellow – 2 of Each Color
Great for Ring Toss These rings worked beautifully for a ring-toss game I made for the 2016 Burning Man event. I made a custom game board 42 inches square of plywood, bounded by 2x4s making the playing surface 39 inches. Then made 25 pegs bolted into it. The pegs were made out of a 4×4 wood fence post with each corner cut off 45 degrees, making an 8-sided peg about 8 inches tall with edges rounded over at the top. I used metal folding legs from a local big box store for the game table and cut about 6 inches off…
Great for dogs who don’t chew, easy on the teeth. I got these for our 14-lb. miniature schnauzer mix to chase & fetch. She’s not a chewer, so no problem with that. It’s a nice rubber that’s not too hard & is easy on her mouth & teeth. We used to throw doggie tennis balls but the sandpaper-like outside was wearing down her teeth. She loves the rings & we can roll or throw them.
FUN FUN FUN! Played this back in the 60’s in jr. high and LOVED it – have never forgotten it. Playing badminton w/my grand-kids enticed me to see if I could find the rings after telling them about it. SO happy to have found them and the grand kids love it as well now.
