1. All Ages - Introduction to Racketball

Time: 11.15am - 12.15pm

Cost: FREE OF CHARGE

Racketball is very similar to squash, but is played with a slightly larger racket and a bigger, bouncier ball, making it easy to get a rally going. Racketball is a great way to work out and you can expect to burn up to approximately 600Kcal! If you have never picked up a racket before or find squash too hard to play, then Racketball is for you! It's easy and good fun!

The Little Belters session is the next step up from Mini-Squash.  Players can expect to focus on match play, technical skills, fitness and tactics.
