Padel is the fastest growing sport in the world. It is suitable for all ages. It is a racquet sport and combines elements or tennis, squash and badminton. It is played in doubles format with a solid padel as opposed to a strung racquet. The scoring method is the same as in tennis, though Serves are underhand.

It is played in a 10m x 20m glass box court and balls can be played off the walls. Courts are available on a pay-and-play hourly basis (minimum of 4 people) presently £40 per court or £10 per person. Balls and racquets are available. Padel racquets are for hire at £5 per racquet. Currently 5 purpose built courts available ( 3 indoor and 2 outdoor)
