If you are on the grass, mow the lawn. It’s easier to play on short grass than higher grass. Don’t mow it too short, but be sure that it can even be played on. If you are on rubble, sand or dirt, make sure there aren’t too many rocks to step on or anything. You don’t want to be leaping the whole time. If you are on cement or hard ground, make sure that you are in a place where it won’t get too hot from the sun.
Some things can just be moved out of the way. If there is a doghouse, for example, you might be able to just scoot it out of the way. If you think you can play around the obstacles, you can certainly do that.
Stand up one side of the net up on a pole and use two strings (with a hook at the bottom) to hold it down. Do the same to the other side, and this is the standard way of setting it up. Read the instructions if you are still confused.
