A game without a net

Crossminton

Two players. Two courts. One speeder flying across 12.8 metres.

What you need

A pair of crossminton rackets, a speeder, and space for two courts. There is no net. For recreational play, cones or other visible markers can define the courts.

The court

A standard court consists of two 5.5 × 5.5 m squares with 12.8 m of open space between them. U-12 categories use smaller 4 × 4 m courts with a 9 m gap.

Basic rules

Every rally scores a point. Serves are played around waist or hip height, with three consecutive serves per player. A set is played to 16 points and a match is won by taking two sets.

Equipment

Rackets are shaped for speed and control; ICO rules limit them to 61 cm in length and a head size of 650 cm². A speeder is more stable and heavier than a classic badminton shuttle.
