    To play in *Places to play* or a "sport" that combines them all?? IF you're looking for the sport then it's Racketlon :cool:

    Correct :)

    Definition of Racketlon

    The following three pinciples need to be fulfilled in order for a sport to qualify for the term Racketlon:

    * The game must include the following four sports: table tennis, squash, badminton and tennis
    * The game must be built on the concept of a racketlon match involving the same two individuals (pairs in doubles) playing each other in all four sports - with equivalent sets being played in each sport.
    * Each rally must count. The player (pair) who wins most rallies is the winner of the racketlon match.

    Any sport that fulfills the three principles above is racketlon. Any other sports involving the combination of several racket sports might be termed "multi racket sports" - but they are not Racketlon.

    thanx all for your help. Now, can anyone tell me where I can find Racketlon in the U.S.? I've found it in Canada, and many European websites, but I can't seem to find anything in the U.S.

    I doubt a handful of people in the U.S. even know that "racketlon" is a word. In the U.S. table tennis is played during free time in college gyms, badminton and squash are recreation sports, and tennis is the only mainstream racket sport widely recognized in the U.S. Good luck finding it here. Maybe best way to search are the I.S.A. (international students association) on college campuses. :p
