What’s That Racket? is Soul Padel’s schools programme, giving pupils their very first taste of the sport — completely free of charge. It helps schools boost physical activity, supports curriculum goals, and brings the next generation onto the court with smiles from the first serve.
Launched in Stockport and rolling out to new clubs including St Helens and Glasgow in 2025, this initiative is our way of investing in the future of the game — and the communities around our clubs.
Every Wednesday morning, Soul Padel reserves court time for local schools to experience Britain’s fastest-growing sport in a safe, fun, and structured environment — all at zero cost to the school.
It’s an ideal way to introduce children to a new sport and an active lifestyle, all without needing facilities or equipment of your own.
Whichever route you take, you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome and all the info you need.
Active, engaged pupils
Padel’s simple rules and compact court let all abilities join in from the first rally.
Zero facility cost
Courts and equipment are provided free; staff simply supervise the group.
Curriculum support
Sessions reinforce PE participation and broader wellbeing objectives.
Community impact
Children take the sport home, raising local activity and awareness of this exciting racket sport.
Demand is high, so sessions are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
We’ll agree a date that fits your timetable and our availability.
LTA-accredited coaches deliver a 60-minute intro with skills, rallies, and mini-games.
Sessions run weekly and booking is essential. Priority is given to schools local to Soul Padel clubs.
