Tambourine is played on a flat, clear surface, 80m long and 18 to 20m wide. It can be clay, asphalt or synthetic.
The ball is made of hard rubber, white or red, with a diameter of 65mm and a weight of 59g.
A team consists of five players on the field and two substitutes. They are divided into three roles:
- the backs, which are two players located at the ends of the field, one of whom is the batsman (the one who takes the ball).
- the thirds are in the middle of the field.
- the tailpieces are the two players located near the middle line called “bass”.
The points rule is the same as in tennis (15, 30, 45, games). A match is played in 13 or 16 games depending on the category.
Tambourine can be played at any age, with friends or family.
There is a club in Montpellier where you can learn this sport: the STC (Sport Tambourin Club) of Montpellier.
