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 Padel Club Championships in the summer for mens, ladies and mixed pairs.
Names of our previous winners are on the honours boards in the clubhouse.
We enter a mixed and a mens team in the iPadel 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 £3 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.
The Thursday evening Padel Club Session is weekly from 7-9pm. This is £3pp. 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
JUNIOR PADEL
We positively encourage juniors to participate in Padel, either by means of coaching or within their family groups or with other like minded families. Padel is also a great game for juniors to play amongst themselves.

We have an excellent Padel Coach - Karl Newland.
We are currently running the following weekly group sessions: Monday 10am for beginners/improvers and Monday 11am for intermediate/advanced.
