• Real Tennis was actually very different from the game we know today. It was played indoors, the ball was hit off the walls, and the ball went into chases instead of only bouncing once.
• The earliest version was called ‘La Soule’ where they would hit the ball with their hands or a stick off of walls. It became so popular that the church considered banning it!
• The Ancient Egyptians actually played ball games as part of their religious ceremonies
• These traditions and the whole concept of ball games spread into Europe in the 8th century influenced by the Moors.
• It was the meeting of Eastern culture and Christianity that
gave rise to tennis.

• Christian Monks became interested in the religious rites of the Moors and were the first Europeans to play the game that was to become tennis.
• Courts were being built in many country houses and the first tennis clubs providing facilities for members started to appear.
• The biggest boost for tennis came in 1875, when the All England Croquet Club decided to offer lawn tennis as an added attraction. It was so popular that the club decided to change it’s name to the All England Croquet and Tennis Club. In 1877, the first ever Lawn Tennis tournament was organized with 22 players and 200 spectators. The Wimbledon Championship was born.
Real Tennis
• It was in France that the game as we know it today really came into being.
• The French players would begin a game by shouting ‘teniz’ or ‘Play!’ and this is how it got it’s name.
• The game started out with just using the hands but over time the leather glove was replaced by a wooden handle.
• The game soon became very popular by the French royals.
The History of Tennis
Presentation by: Nikki Cannon
In the beginning
• Ball games can be traced back to ancient times and the earliest representations can be found on carvings in Egyptian temples.
• Tennis spread throughout Europe, becoming especially popular in England.
Lawn Tennis
• During the period of Victorian Prosperity, enthusiasts had been trying for some time to adapt the game into an open-air sport and was brought upon by the development of vulcanized rubber. This enabled balls that were soft enough to not damage the grass, but still maintain the elasticity of rubber.
Wimbledon
• The Wimbledon Championship was one of the most significant developments in the history of tennis. Over the next few years the sport gained tremendous popularity all over the world. It was here that new designs in tennis clothing and racquets were shown to the world.
