Introduction
The UK-Racketball National Doubles Championships will be held at Leicester Squash Club as a one-day event on 19th August 2017. The Doubles Nationals has built up a strong foundation over the years and has always been associated with UK-Racketball. This year we are looking forward to building on past successes.
Leicester has a solid racketball presence and hosts a weekly racketball club night every Wednesday.
With five excellent courts and a friendly and lively atmosphere, Leicester will make a good host for the National Doubles.
Leicester Squash Club is a centre that has gone from strength to strength over the past few years. Having recently undergone a major refurbishment with the addition of two new glass back courts and a modern gym, the club is now one of the leading squash centres in the region.

The National Doubles Championships – A Tournament For All Ages and Standards
The UK-Racketball National Doubles Championships is open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking to take on a new challenge or chasing a top title, this is the tournament for you.
Although the A grade does attract the best racketball players in the country, the events really are for all players. We have never had a competitor who felt they were not good enough for an event in which they have taken part.
The UK-Racketball Series was founded on the principle of being accessible and open to anyone, no matter what their standard or grade. This is the ethos with which we run all our tournaments, and will be the same focus for the Doubles in 2017.
