If you haven’t heard of Padel, watch a few You Tube videos of the Premier Padel Tour and you will immediately be intrigued by the sport. Described as a mix of Tennis and Squash, this sport is certainly the talk of the Town.
Padel was founded in Mexico in 1969, but it is a relatively new sport to South Africa, with the first court launched at Val de Vie Estate in Paarl in late 2019. Since then, it has grown exponentially and there are currently 256 venues in South Africa where you can play, with a total of 773 courts. There are numerous courts currently under construction all around South Africa.
So where can you play the sport now?
