Sessions

The club plays twice a week at Smash Padel Oxford. Sessions are open to every member, at every standard, and are the centre of club life.

When

Wednesday and Thursday evenings during term. Exact times depend on court availability and are confirmed each week on Instagram and in the members' WhatsApp group.

Where

Smash Padel Oxford, North Hinksey: three floodlit outdoor courts a short cycle west of the city centre.

Directions

How a session works

Courts are booked by the club. On arrival you are put on a court with players of a similar standard, and a committee member runs the session. Padel is played in pairs, so you do not need to bring a partner or a group.

Racket hire is available at the venue. Bring trainers and sports kit. No experience is needed.

Box league

Through the term the club runs a box league. Players are grouped into boxes of similar standard and play one match a week, at a time arranged between themselves. Standings are updated through the term.

Who can come

Sessions are for members. New students can try a session first through the freshers taster; see Membership.

Cost

The cost of sessions is set with the 2026/27 membership options and published on the Membership page.
