Crossminton is a relatively new sport that can best be described as a combination of tennis, badminton and squash. To get acquainted with the sport, there is an opportunity to try it out in the Racquet and Fitness Center in Tuk.
During a clinic, the principles of crossminton are explained and you can play. The necessary material is available. The only thing you need to bring yourself are indoor sports shoes, because they are required. Two courts are reserved for the clinic.
The clinic is on March 26 from 13:00 to 15:00 and that day there is also a crossminton tournament, which starts at 10:00. Players from different parts of the country then compete for the Crossminton Challenge Cup Steenwijk. Participants compete in the pro or recreational category.
In terms of material, technique and the competition field, the elements of the three sports can be found. The racket resembles a mini squash racket and the match is played on half a tennis court, but without a net. The playing halves are almost 13 meters apart. The speeder , the small shuttle, is heavier than a regular shuttle, so that the distance can be bridged and quick changes of stroke are created. Crossminton can be played both indoors and outdoors. Crossminton Steenwijk play every Tuesday and Thursday evening between 7 and 8 pm in the Racquet and Fitness Center Steenwijk.
Because the clinic is organized simultaneously with the tournament, the art can be watched immediately. The clinic on March 26 is freely accessible and is for young and old. More information is also available by emailing [email protected].
