WHAT'S THAT RACKET?
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.
What It Is
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.
