Racquet sports have been around for a long, long time and all of them involve hitting a moving object with something held in the player's hand, usually called a racquet or a paddle (or bat if you like). Racquet sports come with a variety of racquets, balls, playing areas and rules but they all have one thing in common - they're great fun.

Racquet sports require strength, speed, quickness, and cardiovascular fitness but at the same time can be played by anyone. The skills of the games can all be learned but enjoyment can be achieved just by joining in. From seven to seventy racquet sports are always accessible and there’s always room to pick up a new trick.

From badminton to tennis and squash to table tennis it doesn’t matter what your racquet sport of choice is you can give them a try with Edinburgh Leisure.

We look forward to seeing you on court soon!
