INTRODUCTION
Do you want to try a different exercise activity? Are you in need of something to get you out of that armchair? Do you even know what Racketball is?!
Racketball is the fastest growing racquet sport in the UK and is played on a squash court, with similar rules. It uses a larger, bouncier ball and a shorter racket. It is easier to learn than squash and less physically demanding. Beginners have found it quick to learn and can get a good workout right from the start. It’s an ideal game for men and women and players of different ability play together.
We play at Knowle and Dorridge Racquets Club in Grove Road on Mondays from 10:00 until 11:00 ish. Walk past the club house through the tennis courts to the squash courts at the far end of the site.
Players need basic squash or tennis kit particularly non-marking shoes or trainers. We can find rackets to get beginners started.
Most weeks we just play and there is a small charge for court hire (currently £2). On the third Monday of the month we have organised coaching and the fee (including court hire) is £7.50.
New players always welcome - beginners, regular or returning racquet sport players.
This group run by Dorridge u3a, but due to low numbers they welcome ssu3a members to join them.
