Padel comes to Cambridge West

The University of Cambridge Sports Centre at Cambridge West has opened two new padel courts which are available for community use.

Padel is a blend of tennis and squash, played within a glass arena. Originating in Aculpalco, Mexico, in 1969, padel has grown into a global sport with over twenty-five million players. Its rapid growth is testament to the fun and inclusive nature of the game! Whether you’re new to racket sports or highly experienced, everyone has a great time from the moment they step on court.
