Do I need to be a David Lloyd member?
Sessions take place at David Lloyd Shawfair, so you’ll need a David Lloyd membership or a valid guest pass to book.
I’ve never played padel. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Our starter session is made for complete beginners. It’s 55 minutes for £105 and includes help choosing the right first racquet.
Can I bring friends?
Yes. One booking can include up to four people, so a one-hour lesson at £45.50 is a great way to learn together.
What should I bring?
Comfortable sportswear, shoes with good grip for an artificial grass court, and water. Bring a racquet if you have one.
What if I need to cancel?
Please cancel at least 24 hours before your session.
Do you coach children?
Yes. RacqEd Kids runs junior padel and tennis sessions for ages 5–13 for David Lloyd junior members. Get in touch to find the right group.
