Turf Tennis is a racket sport made for school turf fields. Easy to learn in minutes, low cost, and played rain or shine. Every student is rallying in the first class, outside and off their screens.
We bring everything and run a 45-minute session with one class on your field.

A review of 21 studies and 2,441 young people found that physical activity programs reduce symptoms of depression, with the strongest effect in students 13 and older.
Recchia et al., JAMA Pediatrics, 2023Turf Tennis takes the best of tennis and pickleball and puts it on the turf field you already own. It answers every problem above: everyone can play, it's fun from the first rally, it needs no courts, and it runs in the rain.
Underhand serves and a small court. First-timers rally in minutes, and experienced players still find it worth competing at.
Courts set up on your existing turf field. No construction, no booking a tennis centre, no bus.
Rackets, balls and portable nets. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.
Several courts on one field means a whole class plays at once. The student who never makes a team gets to play too.
Social, active play outdoors. Moving with friends is good for mood and focus, not just fitness.
Turf drains, so a wet Vancouver day doesn't cancel the class.
Whatever your role, the first step is the same: a session with your students or a quick conversation.
No racket experience needed, from you or your students. We teach the game so you can run it with a full class on your own afterwards.

Our first session sold out at a high school turf field in North Vancouver. First-timers and experienced tennis and pickleball players played together within minutes.
Tell us who you are and what would help. It takes a minute, and there's no obligation.
A racket sport played on turf, built on the best parts of tennis and pickleball. It uses pickleball-sized courts, an underhand serve and pickleball-style scoring, so it's simple to pick up and still fun to compete at.
There's no charge for a first session. We bring the equipment and run it. If you want more afterwards, we'll talk through options that fit your budget.
The rules are simple enough for elementary students and the game is fast enough for high school and university players. We adjust the format to the group.
A Turf Tennis court is the size of a pickleball court, so several courts fit on one turf field. A smaller turf area works for one or two courts.
No. Our first session had complete beginners playing alongside experienced tennis and pickleball players.
Turf drains well, so the game keeps going in light rain. If the weather is truly bad, we reschedule.
Your staff stay with their class as usual; we lead the instruction and games. Tell us about your school's requirements and we'll work within them.
Yes. Start with a pilot at one school, then roll out to other schools with turf fields. No new courts or construction needed.
