What is "stické"?
Stické is a traditional racquet sport that blends elements of tennis, racquets, and real tennis. It is typically played on a court similar to a real tennis court but is smaller and surrounded by walls. The game is played with a tennis racket and low-pressure balls, and the ball can bounce off the walls, adding a unique challenge. Stické has its origins in the 19th century and was created to keep soldiers fit. While it was once popular in the British Empire, it is now a rare sport, with only a few courts remaining, mostly in the United Kingdom.
