Ways to play
At the Rackets Academy there’s a game for every padel fan! Join our whatsapp groups to find players on your level, just book a court with friends, join our weekly events, or play official tournaments. From casual rallies to intense tournaments, every match is a chance to play, compete, and make new friends—or rivals!

Reserve a court

No matter if it rains, snows, or the sun is shining - if you are 2 or 4 players - we have the right court for you. Book one of our 4 indoor courts or one of the 2 outdoor courts. The easiest way to reserve a court is to download the Playtomic app where you see the open slots. However you can also just call us or write us a WhatsApp.
