Beach tennis is a fun, social sport that is steadily attracting more fans, with international tournaments held at coastlines around the world. But are there enough benefits to live stream this niche sport? Find out why starting your own beach tennis stream is worth it in this blog, featuring our beach tennis scoreboard.
The game of beach tennis first got its formal rules in the 1980’s, and eventually was fully recognized by the International Tennis Federation in the mid 2000’s. It’s evolved into a sport that combines elements of tennis, padel, and beach volleyball, played on a sandy court. Like beach volleyball, beach tennis is usually played in doubles, and no bounces are allowed.
Because the ball can’t touch the ground, beach tennis is fast-moving, exciting, and requires both skill and teamwork. However, it’s also a low-impact sport with rules that are easy to learn. This makes beach tennis accessible to anyone – from junior sports teams to the whole family!
There are growing communities of players and fans around the world, including in Australia, Europe, and the U.S.A.. Live streaming these events is a key way that international tournaments gain popularity and raise awareness of the sport, which means it works!
Whether you’re a beach club who just put up brand-new beach tennis courts hoping to build hype over an upcoming tournament, or a team about to compete, a beach tennis live stream can have several benefits.
A great way to keep audiences engaged during a live tournament is to make sure your stream looks polished and well-produced. The good news is that creating a great-looking live stream doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg! With uno overlays, you can add professionally-produced graphics to your stream for free.
You can also add text overlays to introduce your tournament and any commentators, and to announce upcoming matches. To get an idea of what that can look like when put together, check out our overlays as featured on the 2024 European Beach Tennis Championships, including:
