Rackets is an exciting Winter sport, offered and open to all boys and girls across the college. The Rackets court is ideally situated between the Squash and Real Tennis courts, and is a hive of activity whenever pupils are out of lessons. With a hard ball that travels at over 150mph, Rackets attracts those with a good eye, typically good cricketers, squash and Tennis players.

We employ a full time professional, Ryan Tulley, who is supported by a number of passionate common room staff, that enable out students to learn a new and exciting game, from scratch, and compete at the highest level. We also work closely with the Governing body, and in the last 3 years, Wellington have hosted two World, and one Professional Championship.

Typically fixtures happen midweek across both winter terms, and Wellington are proud to compete in, and have recently been very successful at the National Championships, held at Queens Club in London. The Rackets Team also have regular tours to the Rackets clubs in North America. We’re also proud of the OW’s that continue to play Rackets after leaving school, two of which have gone on to become World Champions.
