The first phase of what will become the biggest Padel facility in the North of England has been completed and will open its doors to players this weekend.

Located at TraffordCity, The Padel Club’s £2.5 million club and facility will be the third venue developed and operated by the business.

The Padel Club TraffordCity is being delivered in two phases. The first phase will see the opening of the first Padel arena of the custom-designed Padel facility.

The first arena comprises five purpose-built and high-spec covered courts plus two outdoor courts; offering year-round playing. The Phase one opening also includes the opening of the clubhouse which will be the club’s social centre, featuring an onsite artery and coffee bar. The clubhouse will also have its own onsite retail store; offering Padel essentials, best-in-class rackets; performance wear and exclusive merchandise.

Spectatorship and involvement will be encouraged at the new facility, with bleacher seating installed to maximise the viewer experience and add excitement when tournaments take place.

The build programme to complete Phase two will continue whilst the players use the operational sections of the club. Phase two works include the completion of the second Padel arena comprising of the remaining four indoor courts. The works are expected to be finished by summer this year. On its completion, the 11-court club will be the biggest Padel facility in the North.

Kris Ball, Founder and CEO of The Padel Club said: “Opening the doors of The Padel Club TraffordCity is a huge milestone for us. There has been so much hard work to get us to this stage and we’d like to thank everyone who’s helped us. The Padel Club TraffordCity is going to be a landmark club for the north and for the sport, the amount of interest and anticipation we’ve received since we first announced the news that we would be building a club here has been remarkable.

“We can’t wait to see these courts in action and for players to enjoy this Padel destination that is centred around quality, experience and wellness.”
