Four courts, no wind
A covered padel club off Racecourse Road in Milnerton. Glass courts on a sprung base, floodlights until ten at night, and a racket waiting at the desk if you arrived with nothing.
Book a courtSix in the morning to ten at night
Seven days. The first slot starts at ten past six and the last one at half past eight, and the lights stay on until the point is finished.
Four box league divisions
Wednesday nights, promotion and relegation every six weeks. Enter as a pair, or put one name down and we will find you a partner off the board.
Come alone, still play
At every social we put the names up, make the fours, and rotate after seven games. Nobody sits out two rounds in a row.
The sheet opens fourteen days out
Members book two weeks ahead, everybody else seven days. Cancel before noon the day before and there is nothing to pay.
Rackets and balls at the desk
R40 for a racket for the session, R190 for a fresh tin of three. Your first time out the racket costs you nothing.
Under a roof, out of the wind
All four courts are indoors on a sprung base. The south-easter does not reach them, and neither does a wet July.
Baan is four courts and one kettle
We opened in an old panelbeater's shed off Racecourse Road in 2022 with two courts, one coach and forty-one members. There are four courts and about six hundred of you now, and it is still the same kettle.

Book a courtMembers
I played squash for twenty years and stopped when my knees did. Padel gave me back a Tuesday night.
Nobody made me feel stupid in my first month, which is the only reason there was a second one.
We take the 06:10 on a Thursday, play, shower here, and I am at a desk in Century City by half past eight.
My daughter is eleven, plays Fridays, now beats me, and tells the whole family about it every Sunday.
The coaches
Came across from tennis coaching in Pinelands and has taught most of the people you will meet on a Monday night.
Runs the Wednesday divisions and will tell you exactly why you lost, whether or not you asked him.
Took the Friday junior group from four children to twenty-six in two years without ever advertising it.
Hockey conditioning coach for eleven years, here mostly to stop people tearing a calf in their first month.

Somebody is at the desk from six in the morning until ten at night. Tell us roughly when you want to play and we will come back with the closest slot that is genuinely free.
