Speedminton, a new dimension in racquet sports, combines tennis, badminton, and racquetball and is endorsed by 2006 U.S. Open Champion Maria Sharapova. Easy to learn for beginners and fun for many advanced players, this game can be played anywhere by using the dimensions of a tennis court (although you don't need a net to play). It's fun and portable like badminton, aerobic and competitive like racquetball, and fun for the whole family.
Three Types of Play:
- Fun Speeder can be used by beginners or for recreational volleys on the beach or in a park.
- Match Speeder is for fast and competitive play.
- Night Speeder is modified so that a Speedlight can be inserted at the base.
What's in the Box?
- 2 Speedracquets made of high-quality, extruded aluminum for maximum durability
- 3 Speeders made from patented, aerodynamic materials, each for a different kind of play
- 4 Speedlights for up to three hours of after-dark play
- 1 Speedbag for carrying portability
- 1 Wind Ring for all-weather play
- 8 cones for court markers
Speedminton Games:
Freestyle
There are no court, no rules, and no limits. From a recreational game at the beach to an exciting volley in total darkness, you can just play without keeping score. If it's windy, simply snap a wind ring onto the Speeder for added stability.
Outdoor Competition
Use Easy Courts to set up a game at the beach or on grassy fields. You can also use cones to turn any open space or a tennis court into two Speed Courts.
Indoor Competition
You can easily set up a game at any gym or indoor tennis court. No net is required--just mark your boundaries with the Easy Court or cones and you're ready to play.
Night Play
The Night Speeder makes it possible to play at night. Just press a Speedlight into the clear Night Speeder head to let it glow in the dark (they glow 2-3 hours). As shooting stars cross the night sky, you'll only see the Night Speeder.
Rules
A game is played to 16 points. Serve from the center of your playing field and players alternate service every three points. Play best-of-five to win a match.
