Description
Overview
The Royce Pole Tennis Set is a two-player game built around a steel post with a ground spike and an adjustable pole stand. It is one of the classic outdoor games most New Zealanders remember from a backyard, packaged here for schools and clubs.
Because the post spikes straight into the ground, there is no net to string and no court to mark. That makes it one of the quickest playground kitsets to get going at lunchtime or on a camp.
Key benefits
- Two players rally in a small space with the 2 bats supplied.
- Steel post with ground spike sets up on any grass area.
- Adjustable pole stand lets you suit the height to the players.
- At 2.2 kg the set is easy to carry out and pack away.
Who it's for
Primary and intermediate playgrounds, after-school care, school camps and club family days. It works anywhere with soft ground for the spike, which rules out asphalt courts and indoor gyms.
It is a recreational game, not a substitute for tennis coaching equipment. If a bat breaks or you want to give a second pair of players a turn, a spare Padder Tennis Bat is sold separately.
Care, safety and set-up
Pull the spike out after play and store the set dry so the steel post stays in good condition. Check the ball before each session and keep the set together in the sports shed. Shipping weight is 2.2 kg.
Frequently asked questions
What is in the set?
2 bats, 1 ball and 1 adjustable pole stand with a steel post and ground spike.
Can it be used on a hard court?

Can I buy spare bats?
Yes. The Padder Tennis Bat is listed separately as a spare or add-on.
