Winter 2013 saw the club unable to book courts for touchtennis so unfortunately this hasnt been running. However, if situation changes with court time, sessions will be put together as it is always an enjoyable experience for all players of any ability.
Bishopbriggs Tennis Club is proud to be able to offer touchtennis as one of its club events. This is proving popular with members and non-members of the club!
Touchtennis was created in 2002 and is the brainchild of Rashid Ahmad.
An attractive alternative to the mainstream game, the key to touchtennis lies not in manipulating the ball with raw power but rather with deft stroke-play and chess-like manoeuvres. Played on a reduced size court (approx badminton court) with foam balls and 21 inch kids racquets, its carefully calibrated regulations aim to level the playing field for competitors by fostering long, intense rallies and clever angle play.

Winter Touch Tennis Series
The seniors move indoors over the winter and touchtennis was a perfect way of combining social and competitive play while developing their racket skills.
