Reflecting on a fantastic few days at the last week! 🌍🎾

It was an incredible experience for the team and we’re still buzzing from the energy of the global padel community. Taking a moment to look back, our main highlights were all about:
💡 Global Insights: Gathering brilliant ideas from international markets to help us innovate and elevate the experience back home.
🤝 Face-to-Face Connections: Developing our existing relationships and catching up with our fantastic partners in person.
🌱 New Partnerships: Connecting with exciting new companies and individuals who are driving the future of the sport.

Swipe through to see some of our favourite moments from the panels, the networking sessions (huge shout out to and ) and getting on court for a hit with some of our partners! 📸

P.S. We have some very exciting news on one major development that came out of the Summit… watch this space, we’ll be sharing it very soon! 👀🔥

How well do they know each other?! 🎾😆

We put Laura Jackson and Ellie Tait to the test in a classic ‘Mrs & Mrs’ challenge.

Check out the full video to see if they’re as in sync off the court as they are on it!

Star power on the courts! ✨

We recently welcomed the incredible Lily James, along with Team GB’s Laura Jackson, British #8 Eloise Tait and University of Birmingham Padel Captain Hannah Denly to Connect Padel Birmingham for a Pro-Am match.

Safe to say the level of play was through the roof (canopy)! It was an absolute pleasure hosting this group - lots of fun, great energy and some seriously good play. 🎾🔥
