Racket Sport Webcams at the Tennis Club, Boskoop

While the games played at the Tennis Club in the Dutch town of Boskoop might not be of Olympic or Wimbledon standard, they’re entertaining and on occasion, nail-biting to watch. The only set back is there’s no sound on the live feeds so you’ll have to keep track of the score for yourself.

Bashing balls against a wall was a centuries old pastime that eventually evolved into the modern day racket game that has spectators on the edge of their seats. Padel doesn’t have the same lengthy history or, as yet, the same worldwide popularity, but the 20th century created game is definitely making its mark on the sporting world. If you’re not familiar with padel, imagine something akin to table tennis played on a court, either indoors or out, but without the table and with a solid racket rather than one with tensioned strings.

When the excitement of bouncing balls gets too much, head over to the padel court cam. It’s a more tranquil scene and you never know, you might even spot a frog hopping from lily pad to lily pad in the pond or a goldfish popping its head out of the water to take a breath of fresh air.
