Also known as short-court tennis or mini tennis, which is played on a badminton court but twice the fun! Typically played for a shorter duration than standard tennis and is perfect for anyone new to tennis, or simply as a fun activity of its own. Short tennis is played with softballs, lower nets and smaller rackets.
Short Tennis classes take place at Dawlish Leisure Centre for all levels and abilities, including beginners. All classes are included in the Jam Packed Membership or you can Pay As you Go.
