Ice hockey- can the players hit other players, can they touch the puck, and do they have to use the stick to score goals. Tennis- can the players walk over the net and can they touch the net with the racket. Please, it’s an imergency!
As a high school tennis coach, I can only address the Tennis question. Players can NOT jump over the net. A players racket may NOT touch the net. The racket can go OVER the net, as long as the player strikes the ball on his/her side of the net and then follows through over the net (without touching the net). The only time a player can strike the ball while it is on the opponent’s side of the net is if the wind blows the ball back to their opponent’s side of the net before he/she has a chance to hit it back. Hope this helps.

In ice hockey players can "hit" other players in specific ways, but not in others; they can touch the puck but cannot kick or throw the puck into the net.

In tennis, players may not touch the net or walk over it until the match is over.
