Play Padel at David Lloyd Clubs
We're rolling out Padel courts across many of our Clubs. This is a game that's as accessible as it is enjoyable - you can start playing at any age and fitness level. Padel has been described as thoroughly addictive, mostly due to how easy it is to pick up and progress. You play in doubles, and you’ll have to use teamwork to get ahead. Padel is a highly social sport - post-match catch-ups are very much the norm.

Get started with Padel
Come along to our classes and social clubs if you’re new to the game, looking to up your skills or to find new people to play against.
We divide these sessions up by experience level, so don’t worry if you’re a newbie. Besides, Padel is so easy to learn you’ll progress from beginner to expert in no time.
We also offer junior club sessions at some clubs, so you can get the kids involved, too.
What to expect
Think tennis meets squash. The lines on the court only affect scoring on the initial serve. Afterwards, two bounces anywhere on your side of the net means a point for your opponent.
Other than that, the scoring is identical to tennis. Use the walls on your side of court to your advantage by returning balls off the side or back. Two bounces on the opponent's side means a point for you. Expect fun, fast-paced games.
What you’ll need to play
Padel racquets are quite different from the ones we know and love in tennis. Instead of strings, they're solid and have holes in. And the balls are smaller and lighter than tennis balls. That means that when racquet meets ball it can pick up significant speed.
You can borrow Padel racquets from us and buy balls, so it’s no sweat if you’ve forgotten anything or don’t want to invest in equipment just yet. Just ask at your Club’s reception.
