“I’d never heard of Racketball before… now I change my schedule just to play!”
Meet Lesley Evans. She wanted to stay active in retirement but struggled with tennis and wasn’t looking for intense competition. After seeing a post on Facebook about Torfaen Racketball, she decided to give it a try—and she hasn’t looked back since.
In this video, Lesley shares her journey from the first session to making Racketball a non-negotiable part of her Wednesday mornings.
She discusses:
- Overcoming the fear of trying a new sport.
- The incredible health and fitness benefits as we age.
- The welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where no one gets left behind.
- Why you don’t need to be an expert to have fun.
If you’ve been thinking about trying a new sport but are worried you aren’t “good enough,” take Lesley’s advice: “Just have a go, hit the ball, and laugh!”
