Racketlon Street
The newest way to play Racketlon is a purely outdoor version called Racketlon Street. The concept was developed in Corona-times. Nets and markers fit in every car. It can be played on any flat surface: concrete, grass, clay, etc. Racketlon Street is ideal for children and beginners and its aim is to bring new players to the game. If it’s not possible to set up all four playing fields, it is possible to play a Split version with 2 or 3 of the 4 Racketlon sports.
Setup
- Table Tennis: Tables of all sizes from mini to dining tables or regular table tennis tables can be used with a mobile net.
- Badminton: A normal-sized singles court measuring 13.4m x 5.18m with a service line 1.98m is marked from the net. The game is played over a mobile net with a regular height of 1.55m.
- Squash: Only a front wall with a height of at least 3m is required. The playing field is marked in the same size as a half of the badminton-field: 6.7m long x 5.18m wide. The service line is marked 1.98m from the wall. The tin is marked with a height of 0.91cm, or an existing line of a tennis net can be used on a tennis wall.
- Tennis: The badminton field that has already been marked is used. The mobile net is lowered to 80cm (Racketlon Kids / Racketlon School).
