Crossminton

Crossminton is a fast shuttle sport with no net: two players stand in square fields set some distance apart and hit a heavier, faster shuttle (a "speeder") back and forth with small rackets. It can be played on grass, beaches, hard courts or indoors, including at night with illuminated shuttles.
