Padel at Wargrave

Padel came to Wargrave in 2025, and our second court is now open. Padel has been an instant success at the club, helping to grow membership by 80% and for us to win Berkshire Tennis Club of the Year.

We offer members padel coaching, club competitions and fun weekly padel sessions. Members can also book padel courts from just £10 per hour (£2.50 per player). 

Padel Events and Coaching for Members

With support from over 95% of members, our second padel court was opened on 1st June 2026. Shown below are some of the padel events we have in store at the Club.  Also, if you are organising your own social padel sessions with 5-12 people,  you might want to use this simple tool to organise pairings and record scores. Please note that the tool is still under development.

In addition to the events below, we are also run Club Padel and Pickleball competitions (for all levels) throughout the year, with details shared in regular membership newsletters.

Volunteers for Club Sessions

Wargrave Tennis Club is a volunteer-run club, and that is one reason we can offer padel to our members at such low rates compared to commercial operators. If any member wants to run a regular daytime club session for other members, please message our Head Coach or our Padel Coordinator.

WTC Americano Box Leagues

Following our inaugural Padel Club Championships, we are now running the new Wargrave Padel Box Leagues!

Using the Club’s MatchSpace app, a new ongoing padel competition is designed for everyone – from our strongest players to those new to padel (and new to the Club). Players will be grouped into boxes of 8 of similar ability, with around 8 weeks to arrange matches within each box. Using an Americano format, you compete and score as an individual – so no partner is needed. More details and competition sign-up are shared in regular emails to members. In the meantime, make sure you download MatchSpace and get ready to play.

Padel Box League Objectives:
  • to encourage and help members to play more padel matches;
  • help people meet and play with more members rather than always playing with the same group;
  • provide competitive matches against players of broadly similar standard;
  • make arranging games as easy as possible via the MatchSpace’s new “Chat to All” feature; and
  • use regular promotion and relegation to help everyone find their right playing level.
Padel Box League – Getting Started
  1. Download download MatchSpace (the Club code will be provided by the Membership Secretary).
  2. Look in the FEED menu and select the competition that you want to join….and wait to be allocated to the right box for you.
