A tennis net designed to permit balls striking the net to pass through the net for ready retrieval. The net is formed of a pair of spaced horizontal tension members, each covered by a fabric strip to which the loops of a continuous length of flexible net cord are fastened so as to orient the flexible net cord perpendicular to the spaced tension members which support the flexible cord as a series of spaced parallel vertical members. The flexible cord may readily separate when struck by a tennis ball to permit the ball to pass through the net, while indicating by their action and the impedance to the ball, that the ball is out of play.
