Discover Walking Tennis: Fun, Fitness, and Precision for All


Looking for a fun way to stay active, sharpen your tennis skills, and enjoy the company of like-minded players? Walking Tennis could be your next favorite activity! Whether you’re a seasoned tennis player or new to the game, this unique variation offers a fresh twist that’s accessible and enjoyable for everyone.


What is Walking Tennis?


Walking Tennis is a slower-paced version of the sport designed to focus on precision, control, and fun. The rules are simple:

1. The ball can bounce twice, allowing for more time to position yourself.

2. Players must walk—no running allowed!


This combination creates an engaging challenge that requires strategy and finesse rather than speed, making it a perfect fit for anyone looking to refine their skills or try something new.


Who is Walking Tennis For?


While some might assume Walking Tennis is solely for those who are slowing down or have underlying health concerns, our experience shows it’s far more versatile. In fact, regular tennis players find it a rewarding way to improve their precision and control.


Whether you’re a seasoned player wanting to mix things up, a beginner keen to learn tennis in a supportive environment, or someone simply looking for a fun, social activity, Walking Tennis has something to offer.


Health Benefits of Walking Tennis


Walking Tennis isn’t just fun—it’s also great for your physical and mental well-being:

Improved fitness: The walking pace and frequent ball exchanges keep you moving, enhancing your cardiovascular health.

Enhanced coordination: Focusing on precision and control improves hand-eye coordination and balance.

Low-impact exercise: Walking Tennis offers a gentle workout that’s easier on the joints than traditional tennis.

Social connection: Playing in a welcoming group setting fosters camaraderie and a sense of community.
