The new sport of Tinny was created by Barry Jenkins from Rochdale UK in the 1980s. The idea of the game is to knock a tin down with a tennis ball, kicking the ball from any distance but must be beyond the minimum distance.

Tinny Court Setup

Equipment Required: 2 Tins (Any Soda regular size 330ml), 2 Tennis balls, 1 Regular size Tennis Court (not grass.. no net required)

• It is played on a regular size tennis court (not grass) without a tennis net. Two tins are placed down the centre line.
• The first team (2 players at each end) or individual to score 6 points wins the game.
• First to 3 is half time and switch round to shoot from other side.
• You have two shots from anywhere beyond the minimum distance designated by the horizontal lines across the court.
• With two consecutive hits you get 3 pts... in the first half though you can only reach 3 pts (so if you are 1-0 up and get a "double" you just go to 3 pts... second half can be more rewarding as you will get 3pts and a greater chance to win even from a losing position).
• If you knock your own tin down it will be counted as an "own goal" and the other player / team is awarded the point.
• The tin must be knocked down to score a point. If you hit the tin and it does not go over it is regarded as hitting the post/bar and no point is awarded. No need for VAR!

Note: I think this game will grow big and will feature at some point on Sky TV / BT Sports etc. Professional Footballers will also be challenged and improve their accuracy if they give it a go. Its a great sport that me and my brothers have played for years. Who'd have thought Darts would be as big as it is today? TINNY is a must for all ages and professionals and is open to all genders.'
