Tamburello is a team sport that originated in Italy, combining elements of tennis and handball. It is played on a rectangular court, typically outdoors, with two teams of up to four players each. The objective is to hit a ball with a tambourine-like paddle, called a tamburello, over a net and into the opponent's court. The game is played in sets, and points are scored when the opposing team fails to return the ball. Tamburello can be played on various surfaces, including grass, sand, or concrete, making it a versatile and accessible sport enjoyed by many.
