Racquet Sports Horsham | Badminton, Squash and Tennis

Racquet sports give you a fantastic full body workout as you’re not just using your legs or arms but your entire body to move around the court and return the ball or shuttlecock to your opponent. And there are many health benefits with racquet sports too.

Through playing, you strengthen your joints and muscles, and you build your stamina as matches can take some time. You need speed and agility to move across the court; plus your brain gets a workout too as you need a strong strategy to beat your opponent! Here at Bluecoat Sports you can wield your racquet on the badminton, squash or tennis courts!

Badminton

Badminton is a great racquet sport for all abilities and very sociable too as we find you often like to play in pairs against each other! You’ll need precision for Badminton together with plenty of stamina, agility and strength as it can be a fast paced game and you’ll see your fitness levels quickly improve. Whether you play for enjoyment or are a more experienced player, you can play throughout the week or come along to one of our Badminton evenings here at Bluecoat Sports. These Badminton evenings are very popular with members and non members and this gives a lovely social element to the game as well.
