The court is a smooth piece of sod or clay similar to a tennis court, but a piece of ground 20 feet square is sufficient. At the base of the pole a circle is described with a 3-foot radius. A line 20 feet long bisects this circle, and 6 feet from the pole on each side are two crosses, which are known as service crosses.
