Portuguese term or phrase: quadra de malla

I found "sand court" for "quadra de areia," but I couldn't find anything like "net court." Would this be a tennis court?

Todas as famílias recebem, além do seu salário, leite, café, medicamentos e outras formas de auxílio, e têm à disposição campos de futebol, quadra de areia e **quadra de malha** para diversão e prática de esportes.

English translation:"jogo de malha" or quoits court

Explanation:
I think it refers to the Portuguse game "jodo de malha" which is roughly equivalent to the English game of quoits.

I meant "jogo" of course.

Notes to answerer

Asker: After selecting the other answer, I realized that quoits have a hole and the disc bowl doesn't. So your answer was probably better. I apologize!!
