HOW DO I BOOK A COURT?

You can book a court through our online booking system, the easiest way is to download Padelmates on your mobile, create an account and search for Smash Haus Padel or head to Padelmates.se/club/smashhauspadel and pick your preferred date, time, and court. It only takes a minute.

Padel is traditionally played as doubles — so four players, two on each side. That’s the format you’ll see on most courts and it’s what the game is designed for. That said, you can absolutely play singles on a padel court too if there’s just two of you — it’s a great workout and still loads of fun. Either way, you only need to book one court. If you’re looking for people to play with, keep an eye on our social sessions where we mix players together so you can just turn up and get a game.

Yes! You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before your session. Changes made after that window may be subject to a cancellation fee. You can manage your bookings directly through PadelMates

You can book up to 5 days in advance., members can book up to 10 days in advance. We find this gives everyone a fair chance to grab the slots they want without courts sitting empty. Keep an eye out for peak-time slots — they tend to go quickly!

Not at all. Smash Haus Padel is open to everyone — members and non-members alike. That said, members do enjoy perks like discounted court rates, priority booking windows, and more. Check out our membership options to see if one’s right for you.

Absolutely. Whether it’s a corporate team-building day, a birthday celebration, or a private tournament with friends, we can put together a package to suit. Drop us a message at hello@smashhauspadel.com and we’ll get the details sorted.

Nope. We have rackets available to hire at the venue from our Racket vending machine, so you can turn up and play without bringing a thing.  We will  also have some premium rackets from Top brands you can hire and try before you buy! If you’ve got your own racket, of course, bring it along!

 

Very little — that’s part of the appeal. Wear comfortable sports clothing and clean, non-marking trainers (court shoes or tennis shoes are ideal). Balls are available to buy,  and rackets are available to hire if you need one. That’s it — you’re good to go.

Yes! We stock a range of rackets, balls, grips, and accessories in our  PDH Sports pro shop so you can pick up what you need on-site. Our team can help you choose the right racket for your level and playing style. If there is not anything you like we can order in for you, or you can buy directly from PDH Sports with club discount, the UKs leading online Padel retailer.

We do. We run coaching sessions for all levels — from complete beginners picking up a racket for the first time to more experienced players looking to sharpen their game. Options include group sessions, private one-to-one lessons, and structured courses.

Our coaching team , led by Head Coach Tom Bourne, are fully qualified, passionate about padel, and genuinely great people to learn from.  They’re committed to making every session enjoyable, whether you’re learning the basics or fine-tuning your tactics.

You can book a lesson through Padelmates, or just ask at reception. If you’re not sure which session is right for you, get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.

100%. In fact, a lesson is one of the best ways to get started. Padel is easy to pick up, and our beginner sessions & Intro to Padel Sessions  are designed to get you rallying and enjoying the game from your very first session. No experience needed — just enthusiasm.
