Padel & Pickleball: The Perfect Partnership for UK Venues
Racket sports are having a moment in the UK, and two games are leading the charge: padel and pickleball. But for venues looking to make the most of this growth, you don’t have to choose between them. Why not offer both?
At Padel Magic UK, we don’t just install courts, we help venues create thriving multi-sport hubs where players keep coming back, memberships grow, and revenue streams stay strong with both padel and pickleball.
Why Offer Both Padel & Pickleball?
More Players, More Opportunities
Padel and pickleball might both be racket sports, but they attract different kinds of players. Padel is fast-paced and dynamic, drawing in former tennis and squash players, while pickleball is known for being social, easy to learn, and popular across all age groups. Offering both means you’re covering all bases; families, young athletes, and lifelong sports lovers alike.
Maximise Your Court Usage
One of the biggest advantages of combining padel and pickleball is how they complement each other. Pickleball is a big hit with morning and daytime players, while padel tends to peak in the evenings and weekends. This means your courts are booked more often, at more times of the day—turning empty slots into profitable sessions.
Weather-Proofing & Long-Term Sustainability
We all know the UK weather doesn’t always cooperate with outdoor sports. Adding covered courts or canopies means venues can keep play going all year round. But beyond that, offering two racket sports future-proofs a venue. If a trend shifts, you won’t be left relying on just one sport, you’ve got a diverse, engaged audience across multiple disciplines.
Lower Costs, Bigger Return
Padel and pickleball courts don’t require massive spaces, and they can often share similar infrastructure; lighting, fencing, and facilities. This means you get two growing sports for the price of one smart investment.
Stay Ahead of the Curve
Tennis clubs that failed to evolve have struggled in recent years, while the venues that diversified are thriving. The biggest names in sport are already betting on padel and pickleball, the clubs that embrace both now will be the ones leading the next era of racket sports.
