ABOUT PADEL CHAMPIONS
Invested in padel.
Committed to community.
We partner with councils, leisure centres and sports clubs to create welcoming padel facilities, taking care of the funding, development and operation.
OUR APPROACH
Good places.
Strong partnerships.
More people playing.
Our focus is on places where padel can become part of an existing sporting community. We particularly value sites with regular visitors and facilities that support an enjoyable experience.
We aim to make the journey straightforward for our partners, with a clear commercial agreement and responsibility for delivering and operating the club.
We are focused on Sussex and the South East, while remaining open to opportunities across the UK.
