Your game starts from the GROUND UP! 👟🔥

A lot of folks think a racquet sports shop is just about the racquets, but we know it’s really about your FOUNDATION! We are SO EXCITED to spotlight Selkirk’s incredible expansion into performance footwear. 🤩

Did you know that sport-specific court shoes are a total GAME CHANGER for your safety? 🛡️ Unlike running shoes, which are built for straight forward motion, these court shoes are specifically engineered for the intense LATERAL MOVEMENT we do every time we chase down a d**k or a cross-court volley. They provide the stability and grip you need to stay on your feet and off the sidelines! 🚫🩹

We have the latest Selkirk models IN STOCK and ready for you to try on right now at our South Burlington shop! Come on by, say hello, and find your perfect fit. Your ankles will thank you later! 🙌✨

Remember, it’s a game…Have fun !🕺🎾

FEEL THE RHYTHM in South Burlington! 🎶🎾

There’s a special kind of music happening at Drop the Racquet this week! As the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival fills our streets with incredible sounds, we’re finding our own groove right here in the shop.

Did you know that professional stringing has its own rhythm? Our owner, Tom Twitchell, a Certified Racquet Technician, brings a master’s touch to every racquet. It’s a performance of precision and care, ensuring your gear is TUNED perfectly for your next big match! 🎹✨

And since we love supporting our local players, we’ve got something SWEET to fuel your game! We’re now carrying Couching Lion maple syrup, made right here by local tennis player Chaska Richardson. 🍁🎾 It’s the official fuel for those long sets, or just a killer breakfast!

TENNIS GEAR:

PICKLEBALL & MORE:
