But it’s more than just a playing destination – Advantage Padel also offers a range of premium facilities to add to its appeal.

Furthering its mission to grow the padel community, the centre will host an extensive range of programmes, including:
- Coaching sessions tailored to all ages and skill levels.
- Social events designed to bring players together.
- Competitive leagues to challenge enthusiasts at every level.
An Event-Driven Destination

In addition to serving individual players, the centre is also focused on engaging schools, businesses, and local organisations. Tailored events for schools and corporate groups promise exciting opportunities for team-building and skill development.
Grand Opening in Summer 2025
To celebrate its launch, Advantage Padel has planned a grand opening event in the summer of 2025. The event promises to be a memorable occasion, featuring:

- Free coaching clinics to introduce the sport to a wider audience.

The Rise of Padel in the UK
Padel is often referred to as the fastest-growing sport in the world, and the UK is just beginning to embrace its appeal. Despite its popularity in countries like Spain (with 15,000 courts) and Italy (with 3,000 courts), there are currently only 300 courts across the UK. The opening of Advantage Padel in Kingsley represents a significant step forward in bringing the sport to a broader local audience.
