Cannot find proper rules of PADDLE TENNIS. Where are the outs? R u allowed to hit the back wall?

Question

I have obviously found and read the "official rules" of the American Paddle tennis association but could not make sense of them entirely. Just need to know if you can hit the walls and when the ball is actually out in a SINGLES Game. thanks.

Answer 1

Paddle tennis is a racquet sport invented in 1898 by Frank Beal. It is similar to tennis, but uses smaller paddles and a spongy ball. Like tennis, Paddle tennis is played in both singles and doubles, but each player is allowed only one serve. The game is best of three sets (first player or team to win two sets). Scoring is the same as in tennis. The court is smaller that a traditional tennis court. The ball has less air than a regular tennis ball. The game uses quick reflexes and a lot of up close net play.
