Racquets is a well-known and growing club and currently includes 4 BUCS teams and social memberships for 3 sports welcoming players of any ability to train in a friendly and dedicated environment.
Racquets is a well-known and growing club. It connects badminton, tennis, and table tennis into a club for everyone to try, whether competitive or social! It includes badminton BUCs for women's and men's badminton teams, as well as other competitive opportunities against local clubs and universities. We welcome players of any ability to train in a friendly and dedicated environment.
There are opportunities to play both socially and competitively every week, allowing anyone, from beginners to advanced players, to join our society. Social players can enjoy a fun environment, whilst more competitive players can train well. This is available throughout the whole year. After a trial session, those who get picked for the BUCs team will play Wednesday's matches, which will be played home and away against other universities. A coach will organise training sessions.
As a racquet’s member, you will also be able to join our social evenings. These are held on Wednesdays after matches. Socials will include games and dressing up in accordance with the weekly social theme! This is a great way to meet the members and make new friends. Additionally, we hold social events throughout the year for everyone. Previous years have included: bowling, laser tag, and Portsmouth Playzone.
We have spare equipment available; however, we recommend that you bring your own racquets to the sessions.
Please check our timetables for the year on our Instagram page (@ucsuracquets) and get in touch with us for any questions.
We look forward to seeing you,
The Racquets Committee
