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.
MATCHES & TOURNAMENTS
We held our first Club Champs in 2021 - a great success.
Entries are open for our 2022 Club Championships. Three competitions - ladies, mens and mixed. Qualifying rounds followed by knockout tournament on Finals day - 17th July.
REGULAR PADEL FIXTURES
SOCIAL PADEL
We are currently running Padel club sessions on Thursday evenings, 7.00pm to 9.00pm for Club members, Mondays from 9am and also Friday mornings, 09.00am to 11.30am (beginners welcome from 10:30am). This is £2 per person per session booked and paid in advance using the MyCourts booking system. Guests are welcome to these sessions if a space is available. Please contact the membership secretary if 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.
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 - our Padel Teens League started in December 2021. They can hone their skills in a fun way whilst getting plenty of outdoor exercise.
Junior Padels are sold through the club. We have a Dropshot Conqueror 9.0 Jnr in stock as well as the Tiger 1.0 for under 8s.

PADEL COACHING

Daniel West
My name is Daniel West and I am excited to be joining the Ashtead team to coach Padel on the fantastic Padel court. I grew up playing tennis to a high standard before switching to squash where I have played as a professional reaching the top 100 in the world. I have coached squash for 15 years and in that time I have had the opportunity to coach the Polish national team, a former world number one and many other top adults and juniors.
During the pandemic, I turned my attention to Padel and discovered a new passion. In a few tournaments, I have already reached a UK ranking of 30 and am aiming to break the top 10 by the end of the year. Padel is such a great opportunity to combine squash and tennis skills and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experience in fitness, racket skills and match tactics to the members of Ashtead.
Please contact Daniel mentioning ASTC on daniel@letsplaypadel.co.uk or text on 07954023320 (please text only - no calls as he's probably coaching!)
Individual/private group lessons - £30 + court fees
Groups - £10 per person + court fees shared between everyone playing
