Tennis Volleyball is listed on SportSupport in the team category. Its recorded origin is India. It is not on the Olympic programme. We list Tennis Volleyball Federation of India as the Indian governing/organising body for the sport.

Tennis Volleyball does not appear on the official Khelo India Games discipline list, and we hold no verified central pathway or current-year Ministry recognition record for it, so we make no Khelo India, TOPS, National Sports Development Fund or pension claim. Whatever competition exists is run by clubs, akharas, private promoters or state-level bodies. (Checked against Sports Authority of India / Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports — Discipline wise Participation in all editions of Khelo India Games (19th Edition).)

Rules

Tennis volleyball is played on a tennis-sized court with a net raised between the two halves, combining volleyball's rally structure with tennis's court markings and service pattern. The ball is played over the net with the hands, and teams — commonly of two to four players a side — may use a limited number of touches before returning it, with the point lost if the ball is grounded in the court, sent out of bounds or driven into the net. Play is scored in sets on a rally-point basis, with service rotating between sides. Because the court is smaller than a volleyball court and the net lower than in tennis, the game rewards placement, wrist control and quick lateral movement rather than power hitting.

FAQs

Common questions about tennis volleyball in India.

Who governs Tennis Volleyball in India?▾

We list Tennis Volleyball Federation of India as the Indian governing/organising body for Tennis Volleyball, and state associations affiliated to it run age-group and state-level competition. We hold no current-year Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports recognition record for it, so this is not a statement that it is currently a recognised national sports federation — recognition is granted year by year.

Is Tennis Volleyball an Olympic sport?▾

No, Tennis Volleyball is not on the Olympic programme.

What government schemes support Tennis Volleyball athletes?▾

TOPS does not apply, as Tennis Volleyball is outside the Olympic programme. State-government cash awards or sports-quota employment can apply where a state notifies the discipline, which varies by state. Tennis Volleyball does not appear on the official Khelo India Games discipline list, so we make no Khelo India claim for it.
