Squash

Squash provides a superb cardio-vascular work-out. In 40 minutes of squash, a player can expend between 500 and 700 calories, significantly more than in other sports. The sport also provides a good upper and lower body workout. Playing with a partner of equal ability, squash provides a highly competitive and enjoyable game.

Racket Ball

Derived from squash, racket ball is a fast paced indoor court game played with small paddles, or rackets, and a rubber ball. Founded in the USA, Elvis Presley was a big fan, and even had a Racket Ball court (American spelling) constructed in the back garden of his Graceland home. Why not have a go and see if you can become the racket ball 'King'!

Tennis

One of the most popular British sports, and one synonymous with the British 'try so hard but still fail' attitude. Get some coaching or just have a game with Wychavon Leisure, and maybe we will discover the next British tennis champion!

Table Tennis

'Ping Pong' is rapidly emerging as a major world sport as people everywhere get to grips with the intricacies of spin, deftness and power which make up this game. Who would of thought a wooden table 3m long by 1 and a half metres wide could provide so much fun!
