Can I hire a padel racket?
Yes, you can hire a padel racket for £5 per hour (per player). Padel rackets are available at Lammas Park during café opening hours. To collect your padel, please visit reception before your booking. You’ll need to present a valid photo ID, which will be securely held at reception while you play. Note: Padel balls are not available for hire but can be purchased at our venues.
Can I book a Weekly Drill session online or over the phone?
Yes. However, we recommend making your booking online.
How far in advance can I book a Weekly Drill place?
All players can now book Weekly Drill sessions online up to 7 days in advance.
When are places made available for Weekly Drill sessions?
New places are made available immediately after each session.
I’m a beginner. What’s the best padel racket for me?
Padel rackets come in three different shapes – round, drop-shaped and diamond-shaped. They are made out of an EVA foam material, are perforated and are shorter and more compact in shape than a tennis racket.
The LTA suggest starting out with a round bat, as these will offer you the best control if you’re a beginner. Junior bats are also available for kids, which are slightly lighter and have a shorter grip to make them easier to use.
What should I do if I'm unsure if my court booking or coaching session will go ahead?
You should call your local venue to ask, no more than one or two hours prior to the start of your booking.
Before I book a course should I attend a Weekly Drill session?
Weekly Drills are ideal for trying out tennis or padel for the first time, or for determining your ability level before you sign up for a course. We encourage you to talk to a coach before booking, but attending a weekly drill is by no means compulsory.
Who can play padel?
Padel is a sport for anyone and everyone. No matter your age or ability, everyone is welcome on our Padel courts. You don’t have to have played tennis – or any other sport before – just grab a racket, a doubles partner, and away you go!
What should I wear to play padel?
There’s no dress code on the Padel court – it’s all about wearing what you feel most comfortable in. We’d suggest some kind of sports kit and a comfy pair of trainers are a good place to start.
However, there are specific padel trainers that can better suit the playing surface – if you fancy buying some yourself, we’d recommend talking to one of the Padel coaches.
How do I report any safeguarding concerns?
For your own personal safety, if at any time you feel uncomfortable or unhappy, trust your instincts and share your concerns. Each of our sporting venues operates according to the ‘Safeguarding, Diversity and Inclusion’ policies as set out by the Governing Bodies for each of the sports played.
