A 3-way mini-tennis game and apparatus therefor, wherein game is played by three players or teams on a hard, smooth, and level surface using a small resilient play ball, three or six paddles or rackets, and a special 3-way ball passage defining structure placed in center of playing area on playing surface. The special structure in a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises three circular type hoops fastened together with stiff spring clips to form an upright regular pyramidal tripod, with sides of structure making a 60°angle with playing surface, as measured within structure. Other optional shapes and materials can be used to form sides of structure, or a unitary, self-supporting 3-way ball passage defining pyramidal tripod structure can be used. No barrier nets are required. In general, game apparatus is safe, inexpensive, portable, and easy to set-up. Little or no boundary lines or court markings are needed. Singles or doubles can play game. In general, game play requires that each pass of ball, when hit by paddle or racket, go cleanly through two open areas of sides of 3-way structure. Fault assessments and point score awards are somewhat like those for paddle or table tennis. Game can be played indoors or outdoors.
