The Rising Popularity of Padel and its Inclusion at Bannatyne's Essex Club

Padel, a racquet sport combining elements of tennis, squash, and badminton, is experiencing a global surge in popularity. Its accessible nature and social gameplay have captivated players of all ages and fitness levels. Statistics show a dramatic increase in participation rates worldwide, driven by its ease of learning and the fun, social atmosphere it fosters.
