Court etiquette:
Once finished on court please re-lock the gates and ensure that everything has been left as you found it. Please do lock up the court if no-one is immediately following you.
Balls and Rackets should be returned to the cabinet and please place any rubbish in the court side bin provided.
Avoid the muddy areas around the court:
Some of the areas around the court are a little wet and muddy at the moment. We try to provide sufficient balls to make sure you don't need to get your shoes muddy.
We'll retrieve the balls from the mud later!
Balls knocked into the Tennis Courts:
Some balls do go out of the court and the Padel Court is positioned near to the tennis courts.
If someone is playing then they will return balls for you - but please don't disupt either the coaching sessions or other members playing.
Food and Drink
The Poppleton Centre and Poppleton Social offer great choice and variety of food and drink. Please do make the most of the opportunity - but we do ask that you do not take food and drinks on the court playing area. Please keep these outside the court. Thank you.
Please note our Safeguarding Policy and Welfare Team details - follow the link.
Junior players
We're keen to allow players from all ages - but the Padel Court is not supervised so players under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
