If you haven’t heard of Padel, watch a few You Tube videos of the World Padel Tour or Premier Padel 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. There are currently 206 venues in South Africa where you can play, with a total of 616 courts. However, there are numerous courts currently under construction all around South Africa.

So where can you play the sport now?
