Our Story

Let’s Go Padel was born out of a simple idea: bring the world’s fastest-growing sport to Northern Ireland and make it accessible to everyone. Our mission is to create vibrant, welcoming spaces where people of all ages and skill levels can discover the fun, energy and community of padel.

We started in Carryduff, with a bold vision: to not just build courts, but to build a movement. A place where first-timers, families, corporate teams, and competitive players can all find their rhythm. With multiple venues launching across Northern Ireland - and over 50 courts planned - we’re just getting started.

At Let’s Go Padel, you’ll find world-class courts, expert coaching, relaxed social leagues, and a growing community of people who just love to play.

What Is Padel?

Padel is a fun, fast-paced racket sport that combines the best elements of tennis and squash. It’s played in doubles on an enclosed court about one-third the size of a tennis court. The game uses a solid racket and a low-compression ball, making it easier to hit, with longer rallies and a huge social appeal.

Unlike tennis, padel serves are underhand, and the ball can bounce off the glass walls, adding a dynamic twist that’s easy to learn but endlessly challenging to master.

Why is padel growing so fast?

  • It’s incredibly accessible - even first-timers can enjoy a proper rally within minutes

  • It’s lower-impact than tennis or squash, making it easier on joints

  • It’s social - every game is doubles, and courts are close-knit and chatty

  • It’s addictive - the combination of fast action and smart tactics keeps players coming back

Whether you’re 8 or 80, sporty or social, padel is for you.

Searches for "padel in Northern Ireland" are rising fast - and we’re proud to be leading the charge.

Why Padel Is Perfect for Everyone

Padel isn’t just a game. It’s a gateway to better health, stronger friendships, and more fun.

  • For beginners: padel is easy to start. No lessons needed - just grab a racket and jump in.

  • For athletes: padel is fast, strategic and demanding. Footwork, reflexes and tactics come into play quickly.

  • For families: kids love it, parents love it - and it’s safe, active fun in a controlled space.

  • For businesses: it’s the ultimate team-building sport. Fast to learn, easy to organise, unforgettable to play.

  • For everyone: it’s a lifestyle - mixing sport, socialising and wellness.

Our courts are designed for people who want to stay active, stay connected, and try something new. At Let’s Go Padel, you’ll find community on and off the court.
