Frequently asked
questions
What is padel?
Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world and is rapidly gaining popularity across the UK. It is a racket sport played on an enclosed court slightly smaller than a tennis court, where players can use the surrounding glass walls during rallies. Padel is typically played in doubles, making it highly social and easy to learn for beginners. With simple rules and fast-paced rallies, padel combines elements of tennis and squash and is suitable for players of all ages and abilities. Indoor padel clubs across the UK are helping more people discover the sport year-round.
Where can you play padel in the UK?
Padel is growing quickly across the UK, with new indoor and outdoor padel courts opening in major cities and sports clubs nationwide. Players can now find padel courts in locations including London, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds and Sheffield. Many new venues are purpose-built indoor padel clubs, allowing people to play year-round regardless of weather conditions. As demand for the sport continues to grow, operators like Play Padel Group are developing a new generation of indoor padel venues designed to make the sport more accessible to communities across the UK.
What makes Play Padel Group different?
Play Padel Group is focused on developing a new generation of indoor padel clubs across the UK. Unlike traditional sports clubs, the group specialises in transforming vacant buildings and underused spaces into vibrant indoor padel venues. Each club is designed to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where players of all ages and abilities can enjoy the world’s fastest-growing sport. By combining high-quality courts, coaching programmes and community events, Play Padel Group aims to make padel more accessible while building a national network of indoor clubs.
How does Play Padel Group develop new clubs?
Play Padel Group develops indoor padel clubs by repurposing land, vacant retail & industrial units, leisure facilities and underused buildings across the UK. The company identifies locations where padel demand is growing and transforms these spaces into modern indoor padel venues with multiple courts, coaching programmes and community events. This approach allows Play Padel Group to bring new life to existing buildings while creating vibrant sporting destinations that encourage more people to discover and play padel.
Where will Play Padel Group open next?
Play Padel Group is expanding its network of indoor padel clubs across the UK, with new venues planned in major cities and growing regional markets. Following the launch of Play Padel Sheffield, additional locations are being explored in areas with strong demand for padel and suitable buildings for conversion into indoor clubs. As the popularity of padel continues to grow in the UK, Play Padel Group aims to develop multiple venues that bring high-quality padel courts and community sport facilities to new locations.
