Padel Shift is a pay-to-play padel operator building a network of courts across the UK.

We're mad about padel and our approach is simple: great courts, great team, top quality coaching and an awesome padel community — all set in stunning locations. We're here to create spaces where everyone is welcome to play and have a good time. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned pro, our community is built around the belief that padel is for everyone.

We currently operate at The Club by Bamford, Daylesford Farm and Elkstone Studios near Cheltenham, countryside settings where padel meets wellbeing, connection, and fun. Each site is unique, but they all share the same DNA: inclusive, energetic, and proudly local.

Padel Shift is about more than just sport. It’s about connecting with others, being active, and having fun. Join a group, book a court, or come along to one of our events — however you play, there’s a place for you here. With more locations on the way, we’re growing a padel community that’s inclusive, energising and made for everyone.

Like so many other others I've fallen in love with this game and am on a serious mission to build the biggest and best padel community with my growing team of padel enthusiasts.

We are building and operating a carefully curated network of courts at some truly special locations, catering to the huge growth this sport is witnessing in the UK, ensuring people have top quality courts to play on and a booming community to join.
