What happens if the Met Office issues an Extreme Weather Alert?

If the warning is for 'extreme' weather such as heavy snow, strong winds or abnormally high temperatures - at our senior management's sole discretion - we may decide to cancel your booking or choose to remain open to the public. We will try to inform you in good time before your booking starts.

Do you have waiting lists for youth courses?

Yes, if our youth courses are fully booked, you can join our waiting lists or sign up to our emails to receive the latest news and offers.

How do the waiting lists work?

If you join one of our waiting lists, you will be notified by email if a space or suitable alternative becomes available, along with instructions on how to book.

I joined a waiting list, am I guaranteed to get a space?

Due to the popularity at our venues, we cannot guarantee that you will be offered a space. We strongly encourage you to check our website frequently to give yourself the best opportunity to secure one. By signing up to our emails , you will be among the first to know of new courses as soon as they become available to book.

Can I check my progress on a waiting list?

No, but should you find a different activity you wish to book instead we can remove you from the waiting list if you want us to. To do this just let your venue know.

Padel is a sport for anyone and everyone. No matter your age or ability, everyone is welcome on our Padel courts. You don’t have to have played tennis – or any other sport before – just grab a racket, a doubles partner, and away you go!

What are basic rules of padel?

Serve The point starts with a serve which, like in tennis, must be hit to the opposite square. The serve is under-hand, with a first and second serve allowed If the ball hits the net and bounces in the box, it is a let. Play The ball must bounce on the ground before touching any structure and must then be returned before the second bounce. Players can use their own windows to return the ball. Volleys are permitted. Scoring Exactly the same as tennis. Six games are needed to win a set, and the player (s) that win two sets are awarded the match. Players will play a 7 point tie-breaker if the score reaches 6 games all.
