Street Racket - anyone, anytime, anywhere

Learning through movement with racket and ball

Street Racket is a unique and versatile Swiss concept providing sports, education and empowerment for all. We focus on active, crosscurricular learning and on a barrier free and sustainable access for anyone, anywhere. Kids benefit from social and fun learning in a low-threshold concept framework that intersects with the main school curricula and promotes all of the 21st century skills.

Street Racket makes learning more fun for all students, improves learning efficiency, promotes children's physical and mental health through increased movement, and reduces time spent in front of screens. At the same time, it teaches qualities such as movement skills and social skills.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Children have a natural urge to move that needs to be encouraged. Nowadays, they spend too much time in front of the screen. For many, playing sports is too time-consuming and costly, and the motivation to play sports at all dwindles. Street Racket, on the other hand, is a low-threshold concept that requires no infrastructure, can be played anywhere, and costs very little, so the incentive is big.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Street Racket has already been implemented in schools, sports clubs, refugee shelters and camps, prisons and many other places around the globe. Kids have more fun to learn in combination with movement. And the well-being of everyone, especially in a difficult life situation, improves.
Simple rules ensure long rallies, a sense of achievement and belonging. The game promotes motor and social skills and includes lots of cognitive elements.
Our vision is to make sport and exercise accessible for everyone, promoting acceptance of gender, religions and cultures, intergenerational communication and activity as well as integration and inclusion.
No expensive investments are required and no infrastructure is needed.
We work according to the train-the-trainer method. We offer a free app, teaching and practice books, online certifications and curriculum, YouTube videos and virtual content platforms.

How has it been spreading?

Street Racket has already reached around 100 countries and moves thousands and thousands of people every day - in private homes, in schools, in companies, in sports clubs, in parks, you name it. We receive almost daily requests from all around the world for collaborations, webinars, workshops, courses and interviews.
The goal for the next years is to increase the impact of the concept further with a focus on educational organizations and underprivileged populations. We also aim to connect even more with the biggest youth and sports organizations.
Our big goal is to help make the world a better place, a place full of playgrounds for our children and youths, a place of more joy, laughter and fair play. In our opinion, Street Racket is the perfect tool to accomplish this!

If I want to try it, what should I do?

Get a racket (or something similar like a school book, a cutting board...) and a ball! Draw your court in no time and play! Bring the healthy activity to your doorstep instead of having to travel somewhere and ensure zero waste, but 100% fun. Become part of the Street Racket family.
