Ultimate Hand Team Tennis was created by Miguel Cervantes from Las Cruses, New Mexico USA in 2014. It's a 5-on-5 game team sport with a lot of physical activity with a tennis ball. It is smacking the ball with your hand and it's smacking it to pass through the opponents side in order to score.

The sport is like tennis but with some rules like scooping with your hand not grabbing the ball. When you scoop it then you smack it on the scoop zone. Ultimate Hand Team Tennis will benefit both kids and adults with abilities in sports or no background at all. I feel this will aid in getting kids out of the house and away from electronics and keep our young children healthy. I am aiming for this sport to become popular and even hopes of being a national sport. Maybe even start a league business entertainment.
