What to expect
Ever dreamed of being in a glass and metal cage with three other people and yellow balls flying at you?
Then it’s your chance to turn this dream into reality, but expect to laugh along the way and become addicted to it!
Padel is the trendiest racket sport of the moment. Invented by our Hispanic friends (who are known to be fun loving), this sport will make you want to share a cage with your hamster when you can’t play.
A mixture of tennis and squash but way easier to handle and also softer on your muscles, Padel is a sport that is played only in doubles on what looks like a small tennis court surrounded by glass and metal fencing.
Tennis balls and rackets (like the racket you’ve played at the beach with) are all you need to enjoy this sport (rackets and balls provided).
