Very similar to Padel Tennis, played mainly by four players (doubles) on a Badminton Court (lowered net) or on the outdoor Pickleball Court, with a paddle (like a large table tennis bat) and a hard hollow plastic ball with holes (like a large golf practice ball).

The rules are on all the noticeboards.

Squash

A racket-and-ball sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court with a small, hollow, rubber ball. Players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. The objective of this fast paced game is to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return.

Play socially - Two courts available to book. Court sessions are 45 minutes.

Racketball

Played on a squash court and closely resembling the sport. In racketball a larger, bouncier ball and a shorter racket are used. Overall this makes the game much easier to pick up than similar sports like squash or tennis.

Play socially - Two courts available to book. Court sessions are 45 minutes.

This social group always welcomes new players and play all year round.
