 The
sport of Racketlon goes from strength to strength as the UK & World
tours collide at the English Racketlon Open, taking place at
Redbridge Sport & Leisure in August.
Friday 15th August see the Doubles World Championships take
centre stage, with the singles events taking place on Saturday 16th
& Sunday 17th August.
For those not familiar with Racketlon, Squash makes up one of the
four disciplines that players compete in, with Table Tennis,
Badminton & Tennis making up the traditional quartet of racket
sports. Each match consists of a game/set in each discipline, &
adopts point-a-rally, typically to 21. The winner of a match is the
player with the highest accumulation of points.
 The
sport of Racketlon has attracted interest from many notable players
from the world of each individual sport & the latest 'convert' is
Peter Nicol, who will be at the event on the Saturday. Nicol,
one of the legends of the sport, will be competing in an exhibition
match with an Elite International Racketlon player.
Nicol now has turned his focus to promoting the game of Squash,
providing sponsorship, support and coaching through his business
interests & will be on hand throughout the Saturday. Several England
Squash referees will also be present at the three-day event.
For those interested in trying out Racketlon, look no further than
this event, as there are entry categories for all standards from
Elite, Advanced & Amateur to Beginner, & all ages from under 16's to
Over 65's.
