Padel
PADEL IS NOW AVAILABLE AT CNWSC!
We are excited to bring the first Padel Court to the city of Coventry and we want everyone to enjoy the buzz of the UK's fastest-growing sport. As a charity, it's our purpose to serve the community & be the most inclusive and friendly club in the area. So come and try it out, get some exercise, socialise both on court and in our excellent clubhouse afterwards and feel good about supporting your own health and that of the local community.
What is Padel?
Padel is inclusive. It's aimed at everyone - the whole family. Even if you've previously felt that racket sports were not for you, come and try us out. Padel is fun! It's the quickest sport to learn, you don't need to be great at other racket sports and you might just be surprised how addicted you get.
Rather than the intense focus required for Tennis, where two players might be separated by a significant distance, Padel's format encourages natural conversation and bonding (alongside easier to learn techniques like the underarm serve). Padel is a brilliant sport to just "have a go" as one of our pay-and-play guests - it's not all about the fitness.
Padel for experienced players of racket sports
Of course, if you do come from a rackets background you will love Padel. Its hybrid nature means you will find a new challenge, be it the tennis-like scoring and doubles matchplay, or the squash like walls and racket technique. Padel just adds something extra and you will wonder why you never found this sport before. This added dimension means Padel allows for creative play, as players can use wall to bounce shots back into the court in surprising ways. A rally that would end with a ball out of bounds in Tennis can continue in Padel, leading to longer rallies and more exciting exchanges.
How do I get started?
You don't need to own or bring any special equipment - you can hire all the equipment that you need from the club.
We offer a full range of options to get on court from pay & play, to upgrades for existing CNWSC members, or through to full Padel memberships. And we have people who can show you the ropes, integrate you into the club and Padel trained coaches to improve your game. Padel membership starts from £20 per month; per-hour playing fees start at £2.50 per person with 4 players.
Padel might have been invented in Mexico in the 1960s by a Mexican businessman called Enrique Corcuera but it now has 30 million players worldwide and is a true 21st century iconic sport. Don't just take our word for it: Andy Murray, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lando Norris, Rafael Nadal, David Beckham, Serena Williams, Jason Manford, Eva Longoria, Nicole Scherzinger alongside many others count themselves as fans of the racket sport.
