PADEL
We are delighted to have added a Padel court to the Club in October 2020. The take up by existing members has been huge, together with a healthy influx of new ‘Padel only’ members. Padel is the fastest growing racket sport in the World and has really started to take off here in the UK.
**** Please note that our Padel only membership has closed. We are now running a waiting list – please get in contact with the membership secretary if you are interested in being added to this waiting list. ****
MATCHES & TOURNAMENTS
We hold our annual Club Championships in the summer for mens, ladies and mixed pairs. The rounds for the 2024 Club Championships are will be starting soon with the Finals Day set for 30th June 2024.
Names of our previous winners are on the honours boards in the clubhouse.
We currently have 3 teams in the 2024 LTA Surrey Padel League.
REGULAR PADEL FIXTURES
SOCIAL PADEL
We are currently running Padel club sessions for club members only on Friday mornings, 9.00am to 10:3oam for intermediate or 10:30am to 12:00pm for beginners. This is £2 per person per session booked and paid in advance using the group sessions tab on the MyCourts booking system. Intermediate level guests are welcome (with an accompanying member) to these sessions if a space is available - no complete beginners please. Please contact Rachael if you would like to bring a guest as a guest fee needs to be deducted from your club account.
From 11th April 2024, the Thursday evening Padel Club Session will restart on a weekly basis 7-9pm. This is £2pp. This session is for members only - no guests - and will only run with a minimum of 4 players.
** Late cancellation fees apply to all social Padel sessions and rain refunds will only be given if the whole session is cancelled because of heavy rain. That decision will be made by either the coach or admin. **
Please contact the membership secretary if you are a non-member and you would like to 'try out' Padel for the first time, or if you are a more experienced player and wish to try out our court with a view to joining the Club. The membership secretary can be contacted on membership@ashteadsquash.org.uk
