WALKING TENNIS ASSOCIATION

Walking Tennis is a simplified version of the traditional game. The rules have been tweaked a little to make the game less demanding physically. There are two versions of the game: an indoor version played on a badminton size court (Walking Tennis 1) and an outdoor version played on a full-size court (Walking Tennis 2). 

Walking Tennis can be played by everyone, but it particularly suits players who are less physically able due to age, health conditions or tennis skills.

Walking Tennis is growing all the time and more clubs/venues are offering it as part of their programme. We recommend you contact your local club/venue to ask them if they are offering Walking Tennis classes. 

Slightly different equipment is used for the two formats of the game. For Walking Tennis 1 a Tennis Red ball is used with a 21" racket and for Walking Tennis 2 a Tennis Orange ball is used with a full-size racket.

The rules are very much the same as the regular game with a few tweaks, the principle difference is that both formats allow the OPTION of a second bounce if you need one.
