Games of gain-ground


Games of gain-ground are team sports that involve a small ball or a balloon.

Competition of longue paume in the Garden of the Luxembourg (Paris), on June 18th, 1889

They are often played outdoor on a "ballodrome" but can also be practised indoor.

Among these games, longue paume is the most well-known because it takes place with rackets. Rules vary little according to the sport in question, but the basic principles remain consistent from one game to another.

Games of gain-ground are characterized in particular by the use of "chasses" which indicate the limit between both teams.

Points are counted in "fifteens": 15, 30, 40, and set, similar to tennis today.
