NEW SPORT | NEW COMMUNITY | NEW ADDICTION
We are very excited to announce that Skipton Tennis Centre is home to the FIRST Padel Courts in Craven!
Let's Play Padel!
Skipton Tennis Centre has 3 Padel courts; 1 outdoor and 2 canopied. Padel is easy to learn but hard to master. It is social, fun and the perfect stress buster. Padel is a complementary racket sport to Tennis and combines the best aspects of Tennis, Squash and Racketball to create a fast-paced sport that is played in and outdoors in an enclosed court with many points being scored off the glass walls.
Our mission is to provide a FUN, INCLUSIVE and SOCIAL environment that helps people get active and healthy. Padel is a perfect activity for family and friends of all ages and abilities.
The Padel courts are available for booking for both members and non-members!

What is Padel?
Padel is largely considered the fastest growing sport in the world.
Padel is typically played in a doubles format, on a court that is enclosed and is 25% smaller than a Tennis court. It is incredibly easy to play, very social and can be as active as you want to make it.
Scoring is exactly the same as Tennis and the balls typically have slightly less compression. The entry level is typically much easier than Tennis, therefore it can appeal to people who have never played Tennis or who want to complement their Tennis with another FUN racket sport. It is brilliant for all ages and great for family and friends to play socially.
