Get off the beaten tracks.

Good news! Reserving a court is a thing of the past with Outcourt, an innovation that we're extremely proud of.

So what is Outcourt? Quite simply, it is the freedom to play wherever and whenever you want. Even more simply, it is pure pleasure.

Outcourt will introduce you to racket sports that you are not familiar with, some of which come to us from countries around the world. All of them have two things in common: you don't need a specific court to play them on and everyone can take part.

Outcourt will make you want to take up a racket sport or start playing again and it is ideal for teaching children.

Even if some sports under the Outcourt banner have rules, there is only one that you should really bear in mind: have fun.

So no matter how old you are, whatever the weather, head down to the beach or the playground, set up the garden (or why not your office!)...  and Play!

The Beach tennis

Nobody really knows where Beach Tennis originated. The first beach tennis courts appeared in Italy’s Ravenna region in the early
eighties. The rules for this simple game, initially a question of just hitting the ball to each other, were established little by little:
use of a beach volleyball court, net lowered to 1m70, organisation of matches...

Beach owners looking to provide entertainment for their clientele began to put in place the necessary equipment enabling beach tennis to take off.

Turn ball or speed ball

You don't need acres of space for this game. Played alone or in pairs, this game develops your speed and reflexes.

Originally developed under the name speed-o-ball, this game that comes from England basically consists of a ball rotating around a pole. Mohammed Lotfi, an Egyptian, rediscovered it in the 70s and quickly promoted it all over the world both for its teaching potential of young kids and for its training potential for top athletes (wide range of shots required, volleys…). Today, Speed Ball federations exist in several European countries (France, Italy, and Germany) and in the USA.

The peteca

Unknown for many years on the old continent, Peteca is rooted in Indo-Brazilian culture; it was one of the natives’ favourite ways of amusing themselves long before the Portuguese arrived.

It was in 1920, during the 5th Olympiad, that the game was unveiled to the world; the Brazilian swimming team often played it as part of their training and warm-up routine. Nowadays, Peteca is moving away from its original informal playing surfaces towards more and more official courts. It is now a recognised sporting activity and has its own federation.

More than just a tradition, it is a sport that’s been handed down through the generations and is widening its appeal in the modern world.

The Frescobol

Take a trip to Rio with the number one beach game for all self-respecting beach addicts. Played with 2 wooden bats and a fast moving plastic ball.
Racket sports as a whole represent a large proportion of all beach sports. Some of them even have their own recognised federations that organise internationally renowned competitions.
These games generally originate from Frescobol, a sport that developed in Brazil just after the Second World War on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro. The concept, invented by Lian Pontes Carvalho in 1946, is basically a ball game played with wooden bats but it is different in that the two players are pitted together as partners rather than opponents.

The speed badminton- squatenton

Speed Badminton was invented in the 90s by a German badminton player who wanted to play his favourite sport outside.
Since then, equipment has evolved and Speed Badminton has become a sport in its own right.
There are currently 80 000 playing it in Germany and it is developing rapidly in Europe and around the world. Most players come from a racket sports background.

The Miniature tennis

Miniature tennis is an ideal sporting activity to get children involved in tennis: the court is smaller, the net is lower, the ball is
slower and it bounces lower… And to make it even easier, it is usually played on hard surfaces (concrete, fast).

Both easy to play and pedagogical, miniature tennis is a good introduction to playing tennis in a club environment. Miniature
tennis is also taught respecting the official rules of tennis.

Outgames

All originating from Great Britain, the world’s best known racket sports (tennis, badminton and squash) are highlighted in the media for their competitive nature. However, in general terms, they are played mainly as fun activities.
The vast majority of players are more into letting off steam and enjoying themselves, a far cry from the need to compete sought after by the performance driven minority. For most players, it’s not about being the best. It’s more a question of taking part, sharing and improving whilst having fun.
With this in mind and after many long hours of discussion with racket sports enthusiasts all over the world, the
Artengo brand has come up with a wide range of products that are designed to be both fun and educational: Outgames.
