What is crossminton?
According to the official crossminton portal, it is a recreational-sports activity where three sports modalities are combined: badminton, tennis and squash. The games take place in two squares of 5.5 meters on each side, separated from each other at a distance of 12.8 meters. Unlike other sports where the main tool is the racket, there is no net here.
The matches, which can be individually or in pairs, aim to return the wheel to the opposite field through hitting with the racket. If the shuttle falls on the opponent’s square or on the lines that mark the terrain, we will earn one point.
