Padel is Here!

Welcome to Padel at Risbygate Sports Club!

Discover the Fastest-Growing Racket Sport in the World!

Padel is a fun, social, and addictive sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It’s perfect for improving your fitness, well-being, and making new friends.

Origins and History
Padel originated in Mexico in 1969, created by entrepreneur Enrique Corcuera, who built the first court at his holiday home in Acapulco. We’re thrilled to have introduced Padel to Bury St Edmunds in September 2023 with our state-of-the-art courts.
