What is Ringtennis?

Ringtennis is a backstroke game played in singles or doubles on a badminton-like field with a sponge rubber ring. The ring is caught and thrown with the same hand. The idea of the game is simple: to throw the ring over the net into the opponent's field in such a way that the opponent cannot, or can catch it only with difficulty, to throw it back. Ringtennis is very suitable both in competition and as a recreational game.
