Padel at Bluecoat Sports

The four new Padel tennis courts will join our already impressive racket sports facilities, which include six squash courts, six outdoor tennis courts, and facilities for badminton, short tennis, and table tennis.

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.
