Playing Padel
What is padel?
Padel is a fun, sociable racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Usually played in doubles on an enclosed court, the walls form part of the game. It's easy to pick up, great exercise and enormous fun!
Do I need to have played padel before?
Absolutely not! Padel is easy to get into and you don't need to be a tennis player to enjoy it. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned player, you're welcome at Housedean.
Can you arrange group coaching?
Get in touch to discuss coaching for you and your friends. Whether you're all beginners or looking to sharpen your game, we'll help you explore what's available.
Do I need to bring my own racket or balls?
Nope! We’ll have rackets and balls available to borrow, so you can turn up and play.
What should I wear?
Comfortable sportswear and clean (mud free!) trainers suitable for playing on an artificial-turf court. Bring some water and you're ready to go!
Can I play if I don't have four people?
Yes, you can still get involved! Keep an eye on Playtomic and our social media for opportunities to connect with other players and find a game.

Community & Events
