Whether you’re a seasoned player or trying Padel for the first time, our welcoming and energetic squad is here for everyone.

We’ve got inter-university matches lined up throughout the year, so you’ll have plenty of chances to represent your university and show off your skills. But it’s not just about the competition, our social side is just as strong.

So, grab a racket, meet some new friends, and become part of our Padel family. Sign up today and join us on and off the court for an unforgettable university experience!
