Description
Overview
The Easy Days Portable Swing Ball Set is the classic swing ball game in a pack-away format. Two players stand either side of a 147 cm aluminium pole and use a racquet each to hit a tennis ball tethered on a rope; the aim is to wind the ball to the top or bottom of the pole before your opponent does.
The set is aimed at playground use rather than coached tennis. It gives students a fast, repetitive hitting game that develops hand-eye coordination, and because the pole is portable it can move between the field, the court and the hall. It sits alongside other lunchtime games in the Easy Days range.
Key benefits
- Sets up on any open patch of ground; no net or court markings needed.
- Builds hand-eye coordination through constant hitting and tracking.
- Carries easily in a 65 × 34 × 11 cm case, so it travels between sites.
- Light to handle with an aluminium pole and plastic racquets.
- Keeps two students active at once with a clear winner each game.
Who it's for
It suits primary and intermediate playgrounds, activity trolleys and holiday programmes where students need a self-run game that starts in seconds. It is also a good fit for clubs wanting a sideline activity to keep younger siblings occupied on game day.
It is a recreational game, not a tennis coaching aid, so choose racquets and balls from our tennis lines if you are teaching strokes. For several sets across a school, add them to a quote and request a quote; the Easy Days range has more portable games in the same format.
Care, safety and set-up
Pack the pole, racquets and ball back into the carry case after each session so the rope does not tangle and parts stay together. Set the pole up on open ground clear of other play, and make sure players stand on opposite sides before starting. The store's 12-month guarantee applies.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can play at once?
Two. Each player takes a racquet and stands on opposite sides of the pole, racing to wind the ball to their end.
Does it come with a bag?
Yes. Everything packs into a 65 × 34 × 11 cm carry case, which makes it easy to store on a trolley or take to an event.
Is this a tennis training product?
No. It is a playground game that helps with hand-eye coordination. For teaching tennis strokes, look at our tennis racquets and balls instead.
