Eton Fives

Players wear padded gloves instead of rackets and strike the ball with an open or cupped hand.

One player serves by hitting the ball onto the front wall so it rebounds into play beyond the center line.

Players alternate returning the ball onto the front wall before it bounces twice, using the side walls and the buttress to create tricky angles.

A point is lost if a player fails to return the ball onto the front wall in time or sends it outside the court boundaries.

Games are played to an agreed points total, typically eleven or fifteen, and must be won by two clear points.
