Here’s the shape of the day. Full times and coach lineup coming shortly — sign up to be first in line.
Open Day exists so you can try padel and pickleball without any commitment. Never touched a racket? Perfect — that’s who we built it for.
Padel is a doubles-first racket sport played on an enclosed glass court — easy to learn, addictive to play. Pickleball is smaller-court, slower-ball, and even quicker to pick up. Give both a go on the day and decide which one’s your favourite.
