Milan. Miami. Mexico City. Matraville. 🎾

Padel Athletic is building Australia's next favourite sport. Our first club is in Matraville, Sydney, and will open in late 2026.

The club will feature four professional-grade superpanoramic courts, a clubhouse, bar, pro shop, amenities and awesome social spaces to enjoy.

What makes this first club so meaningful is the story behind the space. Two tennis courts at Matraville RSL had fallen into disrepair — unused, unloved, and delivering nothing to the community. We're transforming them into a vibrant, thriving padel club that brings new life, new people, and new energy to the RSL and the surrounding community.

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Padel Athletic to bring this exciting new chapter to Matraville RSL. This project breathes new life into a space that's been underutilised for far too long, and it's exactly the kind of fresh energy and innovative thinking our club needs. What's impressed us most is how collaborative and genuinely sensitive Padel Athletic has been to our unique needs and culture throughout this process. We're confident this partnership will attract new members to our community while staying true to what makes Matraville special." Peter Swaby, General Manager, Matraville RSL Club.

This is a model we believe in deeply. Across Australia, there are hundreds of underutilised sport and recreation spaces — bowling clubs, tennis clubs, golf clubs, RSL’s. Emerging racquet sports like padel and pickleball are the perfect vehicles to unlock it, and we're proud to be pioneering that model in NSW.
