Touch Tennis (sometimes called “Short Tennis”) is played on a badminton size court., but with a lower net.

You play using a child sized tennis racquet and a soft sponge ball. It has all the benefits of playing normal tennis such as gaining and maintaining flexibility, coordination, competitiveness and agility, and of course it is great fun.

It is great for anyone who can no longer run round a full size tennis court but still enjoys hitting a ball. Scoring is slightly different to normal tennis, such as only one serve a point, no ‘let cord’, no advantage point after deuce (next point wins).

Touch Tennis is quite addictive and a great sport for someone new to the game, as the rules are easy to pick up and obviously it is a much slower game than normal tennis which makes it perfect for those wanting to maintain their overall fitness levels in a socially fun environment with like‑minded people.
