Smash Padel Bathampton

Smash Padel has announced a partnership with Eltham College, aimed at bringing six panoramic, state-of-the-art padel courts to the school’s 70-acre grounds. Fully covered with weatherproof canopies, the courts will be available for use all year round for pupils at the southeast London school, as well as by the wider Eltham community.

Padel – a fun, sociable racquet sport, played on a covered court approximately one-third the size of that used for tennis – is booming in the UK, with over 230,000 people playing last year. The new facilities, which will be sympathetically designed to fit in with and enhance the surrounding local area, will add to Eltham College’s already outstanding sports offering and give local residents access to one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
