Padel Tennis at FLTC

Welcome Padel to at Formby Lawn Tennis Club

As padel continues its nationwide surge with it now being the UK’s fastest-growing racket sport with over 400,000 players across nearly 900 courts in 300 venues. We’re thrilled to add this vibrant, social, and accessible game to our club’s offering.

Why Padel Fits Perfectly in Formby


Padel blends the quick rallies of tennis with the strategic wall-play of squash, all on a smaller, doubles-only court. Its compact design makes it easy to learn and ideal for forming local groups, perfect for families, friends, and fitness enthusiasts alike. The LTA reports that padel in Britain has seen court numbers grow by 300% year-on-year, testament to its appeal as a dynamic, inclusive sport that complements tennis rather than replacing it.
