Short tennis is similar to lawn tennis, but it is played indoors on a badminton court with a soft sponge ball and a child size tennis racquet (supplied by the club). You can lob and volley as in tennis but the soft ball is slower. An introduction to the simple rules will be given. As we only have one court you will have to take your turn.

Please note: members may only apply for one Short Tennis group - Tuesday (BST) or Friday (EST)
