Whether you're completely new to the game or already hooked, our club offers a welcoming space to play, improve, and compete. The club has regular training sessions, and opportunities to compete against other universities.
Padel
Fast-paced, social and incredibly engaging, padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
There are a few easy ways to connect with us:
- Instagram: @brookespadel
- Email: padel@brookes.ac.uk
You can also meet us, along with nearly 40 other student sports clubs, at the Sport & Active Wellness Fair on the Thursday of Freshers' Week. It's a great opportunity to meet the committee, ask questions and find out more about the club.
Following the Fair, we'll be running taster sessions and/or team trials.
Can't make the Fair? No problem, just get in touch via Instagram or email and we'll help you get started.
Taster Sessions & Trials
Taster sessions and trials begin soon after the Sport & Active Wellness Fair, so we recommend meeting us at the Fair or getting in touch as early as possible.
Taster sessions give you the opportunity to try our sport, meet current members and experience the club before purchasing a membership. Most clubs continue to offer taster sessions until the end of Week 2.
Team trials for competitive squads often take place within the first few days after the Sport & Active Wellness Fair. If you're hoping to compete, we recommend contacting the club before the start of term or meeting us at the Fair so you don't miss out.

To join this sports club, you'll need to purchase a club membership. A valid club membership is required to participate in training sessions, competitions and other club activities.
Choosing your membership
Each Oxford Brookes student sports club sets its own membership options and prices based on the activities, facilities and opportunities it offers. Many clubs provide different membership types to suit a range of participation levels, for example:
- Competitive memberships
- Development/intramural memberships
- Recreational or social memberships
Please visit the Brookes Sport Online Shop to view the memberships available for the club you wish to join.
Club memberships are purchased on a per-club basis, so if you would like to join more than one sports club, you will need to purchase a membership for each club.
Need help choosing?
If you're unsure which membership is right for you, please speak to a member of the club committee or contact the club Treasurer before making your purchase. Refunds are only available in limited circumstances, so please ensure you select the correct membership before completing your order.
