You can find a list of questions below.
What is Padel tennis?
Padel is one of the world's fastest growing sports. Often referred to as a hybrid of tennis and squash, it is easy to learn and play which makes it enjoyable for beginners trying the sport for the first time.
Played in doubles it also creates an important social element. A padel tennis court is much like a traditional tennis court, except around 25% smaller (10 meters x 20 meters per court) and has glass walls/partitions surrounding it.
One big difference between tennis and padel tennis is that players play with a paddle instead of a stringed racket. The paddle is more comparable with a table tennis paddle than a tennis racquet. Most points are won through tactics and clever play (not through power) which requires less intense physical effort. Rallies last longer so players still enjoy a good cardio workout.
Where will the courts be located?
The courts will be located on the open space right next to Fareham Leisure Centre.
This convenient location offers free parking.
Will the courts be lit and covered?
Yes, the courts will have automated LED floodlighting and will be covered.
Can anyone use the courts?
