Sandwell Padel, which officially opened in April 2025, marks a significant milestone as the first dedicated padel facility in the Sandwell region of the West Midlands. Housed within the well-established Tipton Sports Academy—part of the Sandwell Leisure Trust—the club introduces this dynamic and fast-growing sport to a diverse and enthusiastic local community.
Designed with inclusivity and access at its core, Sandwell Padel features three state-of-the-art indoor panoramic-glass courts, allowing for year-round play in all weather conditions. The venue is tailored to serve both beginners and seasoned players, offering a vibrant mix of pay-and-play access, affordable equipment hire, and a growing calendar of introductory sessions, coaching programmes, and community matchplay.
The club stands out for its public-first philosophy. Unlike private-membership venues, Sandwell Padel is integrated into a wider leisure complex and provides open access to all, with no membership barriers. This approach supports active lifestyles, encourages participation across all age groups, and fosters a strong sense of community through sport.
With backing from local authorities and a clear mission to make padel part of the mainstream sporting offer in the West Midlands, Sandwell Padel is poised to become a leading regional hub for recreational and grassroots padel—combining fitness, fun, and social connection in a modern and welcoming environment.
