About us

Who we are

Padel with purpose, built by people who mean it.

Ace Padel started with a simple idea: padel shouldn’t feel exclusive. It should feel like somewhere you belong. What began as a single flagship club in Stoke-on-Trent has grown into a network of clubs across the UK, each one built around the same principle. We don’t just install courts. We create places where people show up, stay, and bring their mates along next time.

We’re not chasing growth for its own sake. Every new site goes through the same test: will this genuinely serve the people around it? That’s why you’ll find us working alongside councils, sports clubs, and community organisations rather than building in isolation. It’s slower, but it’s how you build something that lasts.

Whether you’re seven or 70, picking up a racket for the first time or looking for your next league, Ace Padel has a court, a coach, and a community waiting for you. Come for the game. Stay for everything that happens around it.

SUSTAINABILITY & IMPACT LEAD

Community engagement

Building health, happiness & long-Lasting connections one padel court at a time.

Ace Padel’s social purpose is to bring people together and enhance community well-being.
Padel is a social, doubles played sport that’s easy to learn, making it accessible and engaging whilst fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.

We are committed to making padel accessible and affordable to everyone. In fact we’re going above and beyond to bring this fun, rapidly growing, social sport to the wider community and create a positive and long-lasting impact.
Padel offers both physical and mental health benefits. It improves cardiovascular fitness, builds strength, and enhances coordination and agility. It relieves stress, boosts concentration and is a great way to meet new people, make new friends and build teams.

We are working with schools and clubs to introduce padel to diverse communities who may not have the chance to try the sport. 

Keep an eye on our socials for monthly fundraising events, charity tournaments and social programmes.
