The people behind Cross Padel.
We don’t manage to get this lot in the same place and standing still very often, so Saturday felt like a good excuse for a team photo.
When Oli and Jen decided to create Cross Padel, they didn’t come from the leisure or racket sports world. What they did have was a very clear idea of the kind of club they wanted to create, and since then they’ve brought together a team with a huge amount of experience between them.
Alongside Oli and Jen, Sammy, Phil and Shane bring years of experience across leisure, tennis and racket sports, and together they’re the team responsible for what you see at Cross Padel every day.
Since opening in July, the response to the club has been better than any of us could have hoped for. Courts filling up, socials becoming part of people’s weekly routines, new players picking up a racket for the first time, familiar faces coming back week after week and nights like Saturday bringing everyone together.
There’s still plenty we want to do, but for now, from the whole Cross Padel team, thank you for getting behind us from day one.
We’re only just getting started.
