What is Padel?
Padel is the world’s fastest-growing sport, blending elements of tennis and squash. Originating in Mexico, it has become Spain's second most popular sport after football. Padel is accessible, addictive, affordable, sociable, and easy to learn. Played in doubles format, it involves four players on the court simultaneously. Similar to tennis, players volley the ball over a net, but unique to padel, they can also use the glass walls surrounding the court to maintain the rally. Rallies in padel tend to last up to 70% longer than those in traditional tennis, as the ball moves slightly slower and the court is smaller. This exciting sport is swiftly gaining global popularity and is enjoyable for both beginners and seasoned players.
What’s on Offer?
At Padel Project UK - Potters Bar, we offer two brand-new, floodlit courts that are available for booking. These outdoor courts are designed for play in all weather conditions. Whether it's raining or shining, you can enjoy a game! The centre features a welcoming clubhouse where you can rent rackets and purchase balls. Managed by our exceptional club manager, Ed, he's always ready to assist with any of your needs.
