Tennis polo

Tennis polo (or toccer) is a unique field sport played with racquets and a ball similar to those used in tennis, which is how it acquired its name. The sport can best be described as an amalgamation of racquet sports and team sports such as football (soccer), field hockey and lacrosse. The sport that best resembles tennis polo is the gaelic sport of hurling.

In tennis polo, two teams of eight players play on a grass (or grasslike) surface attempt to score goals, with the team scoring more goals after the end of regulation being declared the winner.

The sport is also referred toccer and is interchangbly referred to by players as "tennis polo" or "toccer" at different times. There are players in 18 countries including Canada, Mexico, United States, India and France. Tennis polo players use racquets similar to those used in tennis. Each player must have a racquet and the minimum head size is at least 85 square inches, though standard head sizes are well over 95-100 square inches on most player racquets.

One player is designated as the Goalkeeper. Three of the players are designated as Defensive backs and generally play solely defense. The MidWing (or Halfback), is a hybrid offensive player who may play between the defensive and offense ends, depending on the scheme the team is running. The primary offensive players are the three wing players (left wing & right wing) and the attacker (or center).
