Walking Tennis is a recent variation of the game designed to be slower, gentler, and more accessible — perfect if you’d like to keep playing without the full-on pace of traditional tennis.

The rules are simple:

• You walk, rather than run to the ball.
• The ball can bounce twice before you hit it.
• Lighter equipment and smaller courts are often used.

It’s still great fun, offers plenty of exercise, and is a brilliant way to enjoy tennis in a relaxed, social setting.

Whether you’ve played tennis before or just fancy trying something new, come along and give Walking Tennis a go!
