What is cross court in tennis?

Answer 1

Cross court is more commenly known as back-court

Here is a quick definition:

Backcourt violation or over & back violation- violation that occurs when the offensive team has brought the ball into the frontcourt, returns the ball into the backcourt once it has positioned itself in the front court: the offensive team crosses the half court line and then crosses back into the back court.
As soon as a player from that team touches it in the backcourt , the ball is dead and is awarded to the opposing team for a throw-in.

Answer 2

In Basketball terms, a violation is the breaking of a rule that does not result from physical contact, except for charging. Examples of a violation are double dribbles, travelling, goaltending, and 24 second shot clock violation.

Answer 3

A "Back Court Violation", sometimes called "over and back", occurs when an offensive player, while in control of the ball, crosses or touches the half court line only after the ball has been established in the "Front Court."

The "Front Court" is a basketball team's offensive half of the court. The "Back Court" is a basketball team's defensive half of the court. After "in-bounding" the ball from or to the back court, dribbling the ball in the back court is allowed until the ball is established in the front court. The Ball is considered in the front court when a player controls the ball and both feet are past the half court line. Also, when a player is "Dribbling" from the "Back Court" to the "Front Court", the ball is not considered to be establish in the front court until both feet and the ball have entered the front court . Once the ball has been established in the "Front Court", an offensive player may play a ball in the back court only if a player on the defensive team controls, touches or knocks the ball in or to the back court otherwise it is a "Back Court Violation".

Answer 4

Cross court is quite literally hitting a ball diagonally across the court.

When you hit a ball "cross court", you hit it to the opposite corner with reference to where you are standing. In contrast, hitting a ball "down the line" means hitting the ball straight in front of you.
