Mission Statement Vision and mission statements
"As governing body, the objective of the ERA is to promote racketlon in England, making racketlon and multi-racket sports (table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis as one concept) accessible to as many groups and individuals within England as possible, excluding no one. To achieve this aim the ERA commits to 1. implement development programmes for beginner to elite players and education programmes for coaches and referees. 2. liaise with national government bodies of the constituent sports, partner racketlon associations and other relevant organisations. 3. offer advice and support to all racket sports venues and players using those venues either for social or competitive racketlon and 4. promote good codes of practice for coaches, parents, players and volunteers
Racketlon is fun, clean and healthy. England has excellent facilities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy racketlon and the ERA is committed to facilitate and encourage that enjoyment.
