Tennis With A Korean Twist

Participants will experience tennis with a Korean flavour featuring a smaller court size tailored for easy learning and fun play, suitable for all ages and skill levels. This innovative approach not only lowers the entry barrier for beginners but also adds an exciting challenge for seasoned players.

Learn The Korean Tennis Backhand

One of the highlights of the festival includes mastering the distinctive Korean tennis backhand, known for its lightning speed and powerful impact.

K-Pop Tennis

What is a Korean-style festival without K-Pop? Participants will get to experience the vibrant and energetic atmosphere of K-Pop music on the court.

Product Launch: LoveForty

This event also serves as the stage for the launch of Korean tennis lifestyle brand, LoveForty. With its aesthetic and luxe design elements, LoveForty aims to bring a touch of Korean fashion into the world of tennis. Attendees will have the opportunity to be the first to try out and purchase LoveForty’s line of tennis apparel and bags.

Darren Teo, the founder of Play! Tennis, who has over 15 years of experience playing and coaching, says, “At Play! Tennis, we’re always looking to whip up fresh experiences for our members and thinking of how to share our beloved sport of tennis with more people.
