If you’re new to racket sports, or just looking for something a little slower paced than tennis or padel, why not give short tennis and badminton a try? All equipment is available to hire, so why not take part in one of our friendly competitions, or a hire a court to have a go during your next break?
What is Short Tennis?
Short tennis is a specially adapted version of tennis, more suited for beginners, children and those looking for a slower paced racket sport. The court is shorter, the net and rackets smaller and the ball softer – which all helps to slow the speed of the game. You may enjoy short tennis as both singles and doubles.
What is Badminton?
Badminton is another great choice for all ages and abilities. The aim is to hit the shuttlecock across a raised net on to your opponents side. Badminton can be enjoyed as both singles and doubles.
The intensity of the game is all decided on how you and your opponent(s) choose to play, which makes it a great option for families. You can slow it down, or speed up as wish.
