The Game and how to play it

The best thing about playing with your Byron Beach Bats is that there are NO RULES for playing our Beach Paddle Ball Game!

The aim is fun and nothing else but fun, so be lighthearted and try to keep the ball in the air, or let it bounce once and hit it back to your partner. This alone will increase your overall fitness and give you a great workout.

If you have some friends that want to join in, the game can also be played in 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 or 2 on 2 configurations.

Just because the Bats are called Beach Bats doesn’t mean you can only play this game at the beach, in fact you can play it in any open area, parks, backyards or even indoors if the space is big enough.

The 2 balls that come with your bats allow you to vary your game as one bounces less and is slow rated, the other bounces more and is standard rated.

The best way to start is to stand fairly close to your partner using the slow rated ball. As your technique and fitness improves move further apart and increase pace and/or vary the ball.

Try to support each other in the game and if you want to you can aim for the highest score possible whilst trying to increase pace. You can then develop more powerful and accurate strokes and get into a continues rhythm and flow of movement.

At the end of the game please do not forget to help look after the beautiful environment you just played in and pick up some rubbish to bin – you can put it into your Byron Beach Bat bag 🙂
