A
HAUS
FOR
EVERYONE

Never picked up a padel racket? This is your starting point.

Our free one-hour intro session is designed to get you on court, having fun, and hooked on the fastest-growing sport in the world — no experience, no equipment, and no pressure required. All rackets and balls are provided, so all you need to bring is yourself and a pair of trainers.

You’ll be welcomed by one of our Smash Haus coaches, who’ll walk you through the basics: the rules of the game, how to hold a racket, the key shots, and how the court works (yes, the walls are part of the game — and yes, it’s as fun as it sounds). We keep groups small so you actually get time on the ball, not just time watching others play.

By the end of the session you’ll have played your first points, met a few fellow beginners, and have a real feel for whether padel is for you. Spoiler: it usually is.

Whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time or looking to sharpen your competitive game, private coaching at Smash Haus gives you dedicated court time with our Head of Coaching and Community, Tom Bourne ,or one of our qualified associate coaches

Our  BPCA-qualified professional padel coaches have  a passion for helping players at every level find their game.

As Head of Coaching and Community at Smash Haus, Tom is the driving force behind our coaching programme, social sessions, and league structure — he’s as focused on building the padel community in Peterborough as he is on improving your bandeja!

Private sessions are tailored entirely to you. Tom will assess your game, identify what’s holding you back, and build a plan around your goals — whether that’s nailing the basics, developing a consistent wall game, preparing for competitive play, or simply getting more out of every session. Expect honest feedback, clear progressions, and plenty of rallies.

The Open Social Americano is our signature social session — 90 minutes of rotating partners, scored games, and the kind of easy competitive energy that keeps people coming back week after week. No fixed teams, no cliques, no experience threshold. Just good padel and good company.

Here’s how it works: you show up, get paired with a partner, play a set, rotate, and do it again. Points are tracked across the session and a winner is crowned at the end — but the emphasis is firmly on fun over glory. It’s the format padel was made for.

All levels are genuinely welcome. The Americano format naturally balances things out as partners rotate, so you’ll find yourself playing with and against a mix of abilities throughout the session. If you’ve just come off your first few lessons, this is the ideal next step. If you’ve been playing for years, you’ll still get a run for your money.

Sessions are hosted by a Smash Haus coach who keeps things moving, handles the scoring, and makes sure everyone’s having a good time.

Show up, rotate, play. See you on court.
