Why Phase

A club that gets you playing, fast — and keeps you improving.

Padel is the social racket sport.

Doubles by default, low barrier to entry and instantly rewarding — you'll be rallying in your first session and hooked by your second.

Coaching that respects your level.

Our LTA-qualified coaches sit down with every new player, plot a realistic path, and keep group sizes small so you're never lost in the crowd.

Kit-free, worry-free start.

Every beginner gets a loan paddle for the full six weeks. Just turn up in trainers — we'll take care of the rest.

Purpose-built courts.

Four glass-walled courts at Riverside Sports Park, floodlit into the evening, with a clubhouse for warm-ups, coffee and post-match analysis.
