Located at our Horsham site, our Padel courts are just outside the entrance to the main building. You’ll be able to hire a court and any equipment you need to get started with a game of Padel.
Are you unsure what Padel is or how to play it? We’ll be holding a range of taster sessions and introductions to the sport in the run-up to opening our new Padel courts. Our fitness team will explain the rules, show you how to play, and give you a chance to play a proper game.
