What should I do if I'm unsure if my court booking or coaching session will go ahead?

You should call your local venue to ask, no more than one or two hours prior to the start of your booking.

I’m a beginner. What’s the best padel racket for me?

Padel rackets come in three different shapes – round, drop-shaped and diamond-shaped. They are made out of an EVA foam material, are perforated and are shorter and more compact in shape than a tennis racket. The LTA suggest starting out with a round bat, as these will offer you the best control if you’re a beginner. Junior bats are also available for kids, which are slightly lighter and have a shorter grip to make them easier to use.

What should I wear to play padel?

There’s no dress code on the Padel court – it’s all about wearing what you feel most comfortable in. We’d suggest some kind of sports kit and a comfy pair of trainers are a good place to start. However, there are specific padel trainers that can better suit the playing surface – if you fancy buying some yourself, we’d recommend talking to one of the Padel coaches.

Can I hire a padel racket?

At Hyde Park, The Regent’s Park and Lammas Park Padel rackets are available to hire for £5 per hour (per player). At Lammas Park Padel rackets are available during café opening hours. To collect your padel, please visit reception before your booking. You’ll need to present a valid photo ID, which will be securely held at reception while you play. Café Opening Hours: Monday-Friday 8am-9pm Weekends 8am-5pm Note: Padel balls are not available for hire but can be purchased at our venues.
