Crossminton: The Super-Fast Racket Game!

Crossminton is a super fun racket game that’s like a mix of badminton, squash, and tennis, but with a cool twist! The biggest difference is that there’s no net to hit the ball over. This means you can play it almost anywhere – on a tennis court, in the street, on the beach, or even in a gym.

It’s a game that’s all about speed and skill, and it’s played all around the world by lots of people who love to move!

This exciting game used to be called Speed Badminton. It got its new name, Crossminton, in 2016. It was invented because people wanted a game that was fast and could be played without a net. Think of it like a game that borrowed the best bits from other sports to make something totally new and thrilling. It’s grown so much that now there are big tournaments for it everywhere!

Crossminton is awesome because it’s so flexible! You don’t need a special court with a net, which makes it super easy to start playing. You can play it with friends in your backyard or at a park.

The game is played with a special shuttlecock that is heavier than a badminton shuttlecock, making it fly faster and be more stable in the wind. This makes the game super exciting and challenging for everyone playing.

In Crossminton, players stand on opposite sides of a court that is divided into two squares, each about 27 feet long. The goal is to hit a special shuttlecock, called a 'speeder', into the opponent's square. You score a point if the speeder lands in their square and they can't hit it back, or if they hit it out of bounds.

The first player to reach 18 points wins the set, and you usually need to win two sets to win the match. It’s all about quick reflexes and aiming well!
