Adult Private Padel Lessons - FAQS

No. Park Sports approved coaches operate on a self-employed, independent basis and organise their own diaries.

Private coaching lessons can be arranged directly with independent coaches, approved by Park Sports. Please contact the self-employed coach of your choice directly via the coaches profile page. Simply review the coaching profiles and select your coach. You can contact them directly by completing the enquiry form. These coaches are responsible for managing and delivering individual and small group tennis or padel coaching sessions. Payments must be made in full, in advance and directly to your coach.

Padel rackets come in three different shapes – round, drop-shaped and diamond-shaped. They are made out of an EVA foam material, are perforated and are shorter and more compact in shape than a tennis racket.

The LTA suggest starting out with a round bat, as these will offer you the best control if you’re a beginner. Junior bats are also available for kids, which are slightly lighter and have a shorter grip to make them easier to use. 

Yes, but you must let the coach know in advance. Coaches charge an additional fee of £5 for each additional person. The maximum number of people for small group private coaching is three.

Prices depend on the venue and each coach's qualifications and experience. Prices include hourly court hire. Additional floodlight fees apply at certain times of the day.

Self-employed coaches are responsible for managing and delivering individual and small group tennis or padel coaching sessions. You will need to contact your coach to cancel. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will incur the cost of the court, and your coach may also charge you for the missed or cancelled session.

Padel is a sport for anyone and everyone. No matter your age or ability, everyone is welcome on our Padel courts. You don’t have to have played tennis – or any other sport before – just grab a racket, a doubles partner, and away you go!

There’s no dress code on the Padel court – it’s all about wearing what you feel most comfortable in. We’d suggest some kind of sports kit and a comfy pair of trainers are a good place to start.

However, there are specific padel trainers that can better suit the playing surface – if you fancy buying some yourself, we’d recommend talking to one of the Padel coaches.

No. Only coaches who have a current Park Sports Coaching Agreement can coach at our venues. If you are found to be having a private lesson with a non-authorised coach, your coach will be asked to immediately leave the venue.
