Have you tried Platform Tennis? It's fun and the ability to play the ball off the screens is very challenging.

They have a very organized group with great instructional programs.

Same is true for sand tennis.

Just wish each sport didn't require a different racquet :-)
Actually I am very familiar with platform tennis. I played a lot of it in the '70s, '80s and early '90s up north. Traveled, played a lot of tournaments. Loved it. Kind of wore my shoulder out hitting all of those overheads, and had some back problems so I quit. It never really took off in my town the way I hoped it would, and the way PB has, so getting good competition became impossible unless I was willing to travel 2 hours or more. That gets old in Western NY in the winter.
