so what's court tennis, anyway?

It's called real tennis in the U.K. and jeu de paume in France. In the U.S., it's court tennis--a racket game played on an indoor, enclosed court--and this site is run by an organization devoted to the sport's preservation. Start with the informative essay at Court Tennis History for the background of the game. Then, begin roaming through the site. Most of the content, unfortunately, comes in the form of scanned images and texts, and can be a bit blurred. If you're a devotee of court tennis, you may want to make a beeline for the messge board. There, you'll have a chance to get to know other like-minded folks--when it comes to this off-the-beaten-path sport, they can be hard to find!
