OVERVIEW
What is padel?
A cross between tennis and squash, padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world! Basic gameplay and scoring are the same as tennis, but with the ability to hit the ball off of the wall (as long as it bounces first).
What’s is the difference between racquet heads?
Round: Versatile/offers greater control. Best for beginners since the balance is well distributed, materials are softer and more comfortable.
Diamond: Offers more power but less control. Best for more advanced players, materials are more solid and heavy.
Teardrop: Combined benefits from both round/diamond shapes. Tend to be most popular since they offer max versatility.

Do I have to be a member to play?
The Padel Club is not a members-only club and non-members are more than welcome to use any of our services. However, becoming a member gives many benefits if you are looking to play often (check our Membership page for all details).
Do we need to have 4 people to book a court?
Padel is a doubles game, so ideally it is preferable to have 4 people. However, you are free to book a court even if you have only one other person to play with, that’s totally fine.
You can also choose to play with one of our coaches on a one-to-one basis or to complete your padel team if a player is missing! Chose “Play with a coach” when booking.
