Connect Padel UK

One Year of Connect Padel Birmingham! 🏆🎾

One year ago today, we opened our doors for the very first time with a simple goal: to create real connections and build a vibrant, welcoming padel community right here in Birmingham.

Fast forward 12 months, and we’ve hosted countless matches, run hundreds of socials & tournaments and brought thousands of players together on court for the very first time.

To every single player, coach and visitor who has connected with us this past year - thank you! We couldn’t have built this community without you.

Here’s to bigger and better in Year 2! 🚀

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! 👀🔥
