Michaelmas and Lent Terms

Rackets is the fastest ball sport in the world with the ball reaching speeds of up to 180 mph. Playing it sharpens reactions and hand/eye co-ordination. It is one of the oldest sports at Tonbridge (the court was built in 1897) and still remains highly popular, over sixty boys play regularly. Many boys play informally as a social activity. There are regular fixtures throughout both terms, and a full time professional ensures the highest standard of coaching is available to all boys.

Tonbridge is one of the leading Rackets schools in the country, competing successfully in the annual National Championships at Queen's Club, London.

In 2010 Tonbridge won the U16 Incledon Webber Cup at the Public Schools Rackets Championships.
