Now that the dust has settled on our excellent inaugural Padel Club Championships, it’s time for the next challenge – the Wargrave Padel Ladders! This new internal padel league is designed to help Wargrave Tennis Club members arrange matches with one another, while adding a healthy dose of competitive fun. You can also now download and use the SPOND App to help arrange matches and split the cost of court hire.
Keep scrolling down the page for more details and how to sign up – but sorry, you have to be a member of Wargrave Tennis Club to join the fun!
How the Padel Ladder Works?
- The ladders will run from October to March.
- Players enter individually and arrange matches with three others from their ladder using the free Rankade app (already covered by the Club).
- Matches can be arranged using the WhatsApp Padel League group and also with the SPOND App that can be downloaded for free.
- Each match should initially be played over three sets, with partners rotating after each set (so everyone partners with everyone once).
- The top players will qualify for a Padel Ladder Finals Day in the Spring.
Which Ladder is Right for Me?
We’ve set up two ladders for the first season:
- New to Padel Social Ladder – ideal for those newer to the game or looking for more fun and relaxed competition.
- The Main Padel Ladder – for experienced players keen to test themselves and battle for the top spot.
