Inspired By Wimbledon

Tennis Scotland are encouraging colleges and Universities to run touchtennis events using smaller courts, shorter rackets and sponge balls, making it ideal for recreational players or tennis ‘newbies’.

Timed Tennis is a fun way to play quick fire tennis matches – You play for a set period of time (eg. 8mins) so it’s easy to plan the overall time your competition will take. Timed Tennis can be run in a variety of formats – team events, singles or doubles competitions.

Colleges can benefit from a free promotional pack, prizes and equipment incentives in return for delivering a minimum of 3 Timed Tennis sessions over the academic year. Sign up for your free promotional pack by completing the quick survey below by Friday 16th September 2016:
