as a pastime game played indoors. This game took some some
one the characteristics from tennis and handball. Mintonette was
designed to be an indoor Sport less rough than basketball.

The first rule, written down by william G. Morgan, called for a
net 6ft 6in (1.98m) high, a 25ft x 50ft (7.6m x 15.2m) court. The
