A new option.
Touchtennis - Wikipedia
. . .
There’s a new game in town! The Villages has approved touchtennis thanks to the efforts of Russ Jones. The Eisenhower Rec Center will host a grand opening on Thursday August 19th at 9 am at the platform tennis courts. I’m told a tennis dignitary will be here to help kick it off.
In the meantime, come out and give touchtennis a try. There is an open play next Thursday, August 12th at 9:00 am (Eisenhower). Racquets and balls will be available courtside. Cindy Clark will be there and can tell you the rules for play.
We’re excited to see this game come to TV. It’s fun and a good game for the Eisenhower courts given the sun’s orientation issues. Unlike the platform tennis ball, the tt ball is light so it doesn’t hurt should it hit you. Plus, it’s quiet, especially compared to the sounds the pickleball makes.
We hope you can join us! Let us know if you have any questions or what you thought of the game.
Paddle on!
