everyone is welcome!

What is padel?

The World’s Fastest Growing Sport is now in South Africa, but what exactly is it and why is it so immensely popular around the globe?

PADEL IS... FUN SOCIAL ADDICTIVE AWESOME FAST THRILLING ACCESSIBLE PULSATING FOR EVERYONE!

Padel is a game that can be described as a mixture of tennis and squash, and is played by four players on a court that is surrounded by glass walls and mesh fencing. It is easy to pick-up compared to the more traditional racket sports, and one could easily grasp the fundamentals of the game in one session. The gameplay and scoring is identical to tennis, with the key differences being the glass walls that form part of the game.

Padel is an extremely social game that you can play with friends and family of all ages, and the rate of progression is generally quite rapid. Because the game is played in a tightly enclosed space it is fast and moves at an exciting pace with matches normally finishing within an hour.

VENUE

Our love for this game is your guarantee that you will experience padel the way it should be played. So what are you waiting for…
