Walking Tennis

We are delighted to welcome members and visitors to come and play Walking Tennis at Boughton Park Lawn Tennis Club. We have started a series of sessions on Friday mornings. 

Please click here to access the poster with details of the Walking Tennis sessions. 

Walking Tennis can be played indoors on a badminton size court or outdoors on a traditional tennis court. The rules are not too far removed from the traditional game but have been adapted them to make the game more accessible.
No running or jumping is permitted. Running or jumping is deemed to be when both feet leave the ground at the sametime. In Walking Tennis you can serve underarm or overarm. The main thing to remember is that the second bounce can land within the tramline (doubles court). 
In Walking Tennis you have an OPTION of a second bounce. However if the second bounce lands outside of the court (singles lines for singles and doubles line for doubles), the ball is deemed to be out. 

Get to understand how to play and see some videos by going to Walking Tennis Associations website.

Come along and give it a try at our organised session, all will be explained.
