Derbyshire's First Padel Tennis Court
Padel Tennis came to Derbyshire in April 2022 when we opened the first Padel court in the county.
It is a growing sport with players of all ages. It is easy to play, with a smaller court and underarm serving, but incorporates skills slightly different to tennis, including hitting off the glass walls. Padel is very social as it is only doubles format in a more enclosed space.
Sophie Brealey, who works at PDH Sports in Duffield has written an excellent blog explaining all about Padel, the rules and some playing tips - The Complete Guide to Padel Tennis.
