The courts

Four courts. Play doubles or singles.

Most padel clubs only have doubles courts. We built singles courts too, so you can play one-on-one, train on your own or have a hit when your usual four can't make it.

Doubles courts ×2

Full-size 20m × 10m glass courts for the standard game of padel: four players, fast rallies, plenty of laughs.

  • Good for social games and leagues
  • Book with friends or join an open match

Singles courts ×2

Narrower 20m × 6m courts for one-on-one padel. They suit fitness sessions, drills and serious practice.

  • Good for one-to-one coaching
  • Play whenever you've found one opponent

New to padel?

Easy to start. Hard to stop playing.

Padel is a mix of tennis and squash. You play on a small enclosed court with solid, stringless rackets, and the ball can bounce off the walls. It's one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK. Most people are rallying in their first session.

Read the rules for your first game

  1. 01

    Underarm serve

    You serve underarm, below waist height, so beginners can get going straight away.

  2. 02

    Use the walls

    Let the ball bounce off the glass and play it back. That's where the long rallies come from.

  3. 03

    Scored like tennis

    It uses the same 15, 30, 40, game scoring as tennis, so many players already know it.
