Padel is Here!

Padel at Risbygate Sports Club

What is Padel?

Padel is an exciting sport, the fastest growing in Europe.

It is not a new game, but was ‘invented’ in Mexico in the late 1960s. Since then Padel has expanded dramatically throughout the world and is getting a foothold in the UK. Risbygate Sports Club intends to be the foremost facility for Padel in Bury St Edmunds.

Two Padel courts have now been installed at Risbygate, and we have also expanded  our clubhouse facilities to include a Community Cafe. The courts have been supplied by Hexa Padel.

To celebrate the club held a very successful Open Day with exhibition matches and coaching on Saturday 2nd September 2023. More details and pics to follow…

Here’s the LTA take on Padel.

We will be running club sessions (see below) to explain the rules of the game to people keen to learn this exciting new sport in Bury St Edmunds.

We’d have also set up a WhatsApp group for various club sessions. If you are interested in joining groups please WhatsApp or text Sam Pickering on 07747 843773

N.B. Padel courts will be open to the public as well as Risbygate members.
