Why Padel Tennis?
Padel is a fun, fast-paced mix of tennis and squash. It’s played in doubles on an enclosed court slightly smaller than a tennis court. You serve underhand, play off the walls, and enjoy longer rallies making it easy to pick up and incredibly social. Our new South Shields padel club is more than just a place to play, t’s a vibrant hub where people of all ages and skill levels can connect, learn, and grow in the game.
