Padel in Rye

Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. Play all year round on our two floodlit courts.

Padel is so easy to learn, and it’s great fun. Even with limited racket skills, you can quickly engage in dynamic and fun rallies using the court’s surroundings.

We offer introductory sessions for non-members and coaching sessions available to everyone. Or you can join our membership and play padel, tennis, squash and our other sports for a single subscription.

Every week, members hold a weekly mix-in for players looking for some competitive match play.

Frequently asked questions

Non-members may not play tennis on the grass courts unless accompanied or introduced by a member, who is responsible for ensuring that they are equipped with white tennis clothing and the correct footwear. Hard courts are available for non-members, if not previously booked or already being used by members. Guest fees are £20 per person per session up to 2 hours or £10 if playing with a member. If accompanied guests are under 18, fees are half the above rates. Please contact tennis@ryelawntennisclub.org.uk if you would like to play as a guest. Fees should be paid before going on court.

It is a strict rule of Rye LTC that members and their guests wear predominantly white clothing and proper tennis shoes when using the grass tennis courts. An hour’s play wearing the wrong shoes can ruin a grass court for the whole season.

The club has an online booking system for the tennis, padel and squash courts at ClubSpark. You will be given login access to this on membership. You may book up to 14 days in advance.

As junior tennis members benefit from very low subscription rates, adult members have priority use of the grass tennis courts if no other courts are available, apart from specified times such as junior tournaments, junior matches, coaching sessions etc.

A stock of sports clothing and club ties is maintained in the clubhouse.
