Tennis Entertainment: The Future of Year-Round Participation

Tennis is often seen as a sport that requires skill, practice, and access to courts. With tennis entertainment experiences, powered by tennis simulators, anyone can pick up a racket, score points, and enjoy the game from day one.

BatFast’s tennis simulator turns the sport into an engaging, social experience with incredible food and drinks to go with it. Players can compete in fun, easy-to-understand game modes that make tennis accessible to all ages and skill levels.

Gamified Scoring with Targets

BatFast Tennis simulators power tennis entertainment spaces with a gamified sporting experience that fits into a space as small as 25sqm. Instead of traditional scoring, players aim at targets to score points. This simplifies the rules for beginners while keeping advanced players engaged. Hitting a target feels rewarding, and the scoreboard creates instant excitement.

Fun Formats Like Round Robin

Round robin formats work brilliantly for tennis entertainment venues. Whether it’s friends, family, or corporate groups, players rotate through matches, face new opponents, and keep the competitive spirit alive without long waits between games. Players are able to play as individuals or team up and compete against players at the same venue or anywhere else around the world.

Visual Cues for Serve Return Fun

One of the most thrilling parts of tennis is returning serves. BatFast’s visual cues replicate an opponent’s movements before the ball is “hit,” making it feel like you’re facing a real player. This adds challenge, unpredictability, and plenty of laughter when someone manages a great return.

All-Weather, Year-Round Participation

As Tennis simulators are often placed indoors, the game is not affected by weather or court availability. It’s a year-round option for players to connect, compete, and keep active while having fun. In the UK, this challenge is even more acute. Rising to the occasion, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is pursuing canopy-covered hubs to tackle weather-related access issues. The plan follows a spike in participation: monthly adult play climbed from 1.4 million in 2019 to 2.6 million by 2024, partially due to enhanced indoor access and court resurfacing efforts.

Having powered immersive experiences at Wimbledon, the Australian Open, and pop-ups worldwide, BatFast is helping turn spectators into participants. From simulated serves to interactive rally challenges, we’re driving the next generation of tennis fans to pick up a racquet.
