Format and Rules

The Adult Mix Ins are held on Wednesday from 7pm until 10pm and Sunday from 10am until noon.

The format may vary and in 2026 we are trying something new! Players will be split into groups of four by the organiser and play a fast four format. First pair to four games wins and moves up a court with the losers moving down a court. In the next round the original pairs must split up. This ensures a variety of playing partners for the social session. 

If players arrive later for the Mix In whilst a set of games are in progress, they can warm up on a spare court (subject to availability) and then be ready to mix-in for the next round, starting on the lowest court.

During the social sessions all five courts are booked out.  Individual members wishing to play their own private matches will only be permitted to do so after the social session has ended, but they are of course welcome to join in the social session as well.

How good do you have to be to attend a Mix In?

Players wishing to attend the Mix Ins should be able to return a ball and rally reasonably well, but if in any doubt, you are welcome to come along and we’ll have the organisers assess your ability and advise further or organise games to ensure you are matched with players of similar ability, so the session can be enjoyed by all.

Generally we find the less experienced players lack confidence and are actually much better than they think they are. These are exactly the kind of players we want to come to the social sessions. The Mix In is a great opportunity to practice the game, meet other members, improve your game and build confidence.

How do you find out who is coming along?

There is a Mix In WhatsApp group and notification on the club’s Facebook page. If you join the WhatsApp group you will see who is going to each session and you will also hear if the session is called off due to bad weather.
