FAQ

Padel is a racquet sport played in doubles (4 people) on an enclosed court with a pressurised ball  

No. Padel is a game you can play and enjoy right away. You just need a pair of runners and can join in an open-match with other beginners, get some coaching with one of our certified Padel coaches or play with your friends. 

Whilst padel is a doubles game (4 people), you can rent a court for just 2 people or for one-to-one coaching. You pay for the court and can play with 2, 3 or 4 people. 

The best way to book, is to download our ‘Acorn Padel’ app from your app store.

No. We do not operate as a membership club. Our courts are open to everyone. We operate a pay-as-you go court rental service. Which means you rent the court and pay as you play! 

You can rent padel rackets from us. We do not sell padel rackets but we rent the padel rackets starting from £2.50 each. You can also buy a can of 3 padel balls to keep for £6. You can add a padel racket to your cart when renting the court through our Acorn Padel app or rent them on arrival.

Please wear appropriate sports clothing for your game- t-shirts, shorts, pants, hoodies, tennis apparel, padel apparel etc. The court surface is  artificial grass so you can wear trainers, runners or padel shoes and astro runners. Strictly no mouldies, blades or studs permitted.
