Two players mid-rally on a padel court, the ball on the racket

Play padeltomorrow.

Four players, a glass box, and a racket you can borrow at the door. Nigeria’s certified courts are lit tonight — find the one nearest you and book in.

Padel courts enclosed in glass, players visible through the walls

The game

Padel is doubles, played inside a glass box a third the size of a tennis court. The walls are in play, so the ball keeps coming back — which is why the rallies last, and why you are competitive on the first afternoon you try it.

Competition tiers

Four tiers.One ladder.

Every sanctioned result adds to a single national ranking. Your best six count, so a good weekend in Port Harcourt matters as much as one in Lagos.

  1. P25

    Starter

    Juniors and first-timers. Short formats, low pressure, and a draw you can enter the same week you learn to serve.

  2. P50

    Entry

    Your first ranked event. Fifty points to the winner, and the first result that puts your name on the national table.

  3. P100

    Intermediate

    For regular competitors. Deeper draws, longer rallies, and double the points of an entry event.

  4. P250

    Advanced

    The top of the domestic tour. A semi-final here is worth more than winning a P50 outright.
