Rackets is the purest of all the indoor court games. MTRC has the only operating rackets court in the North of England. The forerunner of squash, it is played in a bigger court with a smaller and faster ball. It can be as addictive as real tennis as the satisfaction felt by a purely struck ball is hard to beat. Think of the last really good golf shot you hit.

A pickleball court is the same size as a doubles badminton court and measures 20×44 feet. In pickleball, the same court is used for both singles and doubles play. The net height is 36 inches at the sidelines and 34 inches in the middle. The court is striped similar to a tennis court with right and left service courts and a 7-foot non-volley zone in front of the net (referred to as the “kitchen”). Courts can be constructed specifically for pickleball or they can be converted using existing tennis or badminton courts.

Padel is a form of tennis that’s easy to play, fun and extremely sociable. It’s played mainly in a doubles format on an enclosed court about a third of the size of a tennis court and can be played in groups of mixed ages and abilities, as it’s not power dominant. The rules are broadly the same as tennis, although you serve underhand and the walls are used as part of the game with the ball allowed to bounce off them.
