Queer led. Run by our community, for our community.

Rainbow Beach Tennis Victoria opens the 2026/27 outdoor season, and we're starting it with you.

Never played beach tennis? Neither have most people coming.

At 2:20 we show you how it works. After that, sand under your feet and a racquet in your hand.

Come on your own or bring a friend.

Equipment provided.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Find us on the sand at West Beach from 2pm. Look for the nets, music will be going.

2:20 — First hit
What beach tennis is, how to hit, how it works.

2:35 — Play
Social rounds on the sand. Everyone rotates through.

WHAT IS BEACH TENNIS

Doubles, played on sand, over a net, with a solid racquet and a soft ball. The ball never bounces. It's a different sport to tennis, and you don't need to have played either.

WHAT TO BRING

Water, a hat and sunscreen. Everything else is provided.

GOOD TO KNOW

The courts are on soft sand, which takes more effort than a hard court. There's shade and somewhere to sit whenever you want a breather.

We'll be taking photos on the day. Let us know if you'd rather stay out of them.

ABOUT US
