Frequently Asked Questions.

I’ve never played — is that okay?
Absolutely. First Timers is built for beginners. Most people are rallying and enjoying a game within their first session.
Do I need my own racquet?
No. Racquet and ball hire is available at reception — just turn up in comfortable clothes and clean sports shoes.
Do I need to bring people?
Not at all. Join a WhatsApp group or a social session solo and we’ll match you into games at your level.
How is padel different from tennis?
It’s played in doubles on a smaller, enclosed court where the walls are in play. Easier to pick up, more social, longer points.
What should I wear?
Comfortable activewear and non-marking court shoes. Everything else is sorted when you arrive.
