Padel Tennis
Padel tennis is the world’s fastest growing sport. Padel tennis is a mix between tennis and squash: you have to play the ball over the net and you are allowed to use the walls that surround the court. It’s simple and fun.
Alderney’s Padel tennis courts are open and can be booked online via the Playtomic website https://playtomic.io/ or even better, from an app on your phone! Simply download the Playtomic app from your App Store, register, search for the Alderney tennis club and then book.
Prices are per hour and for the whole court: Non Members pay Padel or Tennis £20 per hour and optional £5 racket hire. Prices include the use of balls for Padel Tennis which can be found in the clubhouse.
