What we do
We are a club for everyone interested in padel, regardless of previous experience or ability. We hope to provide a competitive yet enjoyable space for all, with our committee dedicated to maintaining an inclusive and welcoming environment so that students can: learn & develop sports skills, meet new people, have fun!
What we offer
We offer bi-weekly recreational sessions which we hope to develop into an Internal Padel League. These sessions will be student-led and cater to all skill levels, with training and officiating managed internally.
We provide equipment (rackets & balls) to all participants, included in the price of membership.
Sessions will take place at The Padel Team Bristol, 1 Barrow Rd, Bristol BS5 0HU, with weekly socials occurring back in Bath every Wednesday. Alongside this, we hope to offer unique social sessions complete with a DJ and more at our Halloween, Christmas, and Easter training sessions.
Try us out at our free taster session on Wednesday 1st October 2025! Sessions will then commence on a bi-weekly basis, with our first formal practice occurring on 15th October.
