Reilly Platform Tennis Arrives in Switzerland

Platform tennis has been introduced to yet another country!

R.J. Reilly recently completed three new platform tennis courts in conjunction with European Platform Tennis AG just outside Zurich. The Sportcenter Stork decided to complement its tennis and squash courts with three new REILLY All-Aluminum Courts. The courts are ideally sited for viewing, as they are placed inside a small "stadium" which allows spectators to watch play from all sides. They can simultaneously take in the beautiful surroundings in this glorious Alpine setting.

The club hosted a grand opening of the courts in which many members and local sports enthusiasts watched the game played for the first time, and then tried it themselves. Jim Reilly, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing of R. J. Reilly, paired up with accomplished player and Reilly court builder Donald Bleasdale to demonstrate the game. Three German players from the Tennis Club Gaufelden which boasts two REILLY courts, made the trip across the border to join in the exhibition.

Wolfgang, Nadine and Simone's mastery of the sport in the three short seasons since they've picked it up provided encouragement to the Swiss players who planned to give it a try.

Reilly and Bleasdale spent the rest of the weekend helping future international paddle stars of all ages learn the rules, understand the wires, and become the newest aficionados of the sport we call paddle.
