Padel

I’ve been playing more padel lately and love how fast it’s growing in London—but booking courts is a nightmare. You have to check multiple platforms (Playtomic, Matchi, Parksports), prices are often unclear (sometimes £80+?!), and last-minute slots are nearly impossible to find.

I got so annoyed I ended up building a simple website that pulls together available slots from 20+ London clubs into one page—kind of like Skyscanner but for padel. You can filter by club, compare prices, and see what’s actually available this week.

If you’re interested, try it out: www.bookpadelcourts.com Totally free—just something I made to save myself (and hopefully others) some time.

Only just taken it up, came from tennis so I'm a reasonable level (3.5ish).

I'm keen to play when I'm on holiday in Spain and wondered what people felt was the best way of approaching this.

Do I email the nearest club and ask them to set me up with some of their club members? Or maybe just focus on 1-2-1 coaching? (would that even work or would you need a pair to do coaching?).

Is there an app in Spain where you advertise to have a game? I think playtomic is meant to be but doesn't seem too active.

We're at a kids resort so I thought to ask the resort to try to organise but I don't think they'll want to be doing this just to entertain me lol

Any other ideas appreciated

Starting soon! Vamos!

I've used the app multiple times to book courts to play. Its a breeze to use.

Finding open matches is also possible, but here in Portugal, Whatsapp groups for each club are more common for finding open matches.
