Booking FAQS

Do badminton and tennis use the same court?

Tennis and badminton courts are not the same and have several key differences. Although being similar in shape, badminton courts are much smaller than tennis courts. Also, the nets used in badminton matches are higher and less wide than ones used for tennis, with the materials used to make the court flooring also being different.

What are the different types of badminton courts?

There are a number of different types of badminton courts, made up of different materials that affect how they feel to play on. Indoor badminton courts are often made of wood or acrylic, while outdoor courts can be made from synthetic mats or cement. We have a number of indoor and outdoor courts to choose from, designed to suit players of all needs. To find which court works best for you, book a session online today and try them out for yourself.

What equipment is needed to play badminton?

What equipment is needed to play badminton?

To play badminton, you’ll simply need a shuttlecock, net and a racquet for yourself and your partner. Once you’ve got these, you’re ready to get started. If you don’t own any equipment yourself, why not try our No Strings badminton sessions, where we provide everything needed to get started. You can book a Social Badminton session either online, or by speaking with a member of staff at your local centre.
