Durham University Padel Society

Sponsorship Opportunity Durham University Padel Society is pleased to announce our sponsorship and partnership opportunities for the upcoming academic year. This is a chance to support a rapidly growing sport at the top sporting university in the UK. We are looking to make padel as accessible as possible, growing the game across the university scene and providing equal opportunities for everyone to get involved. But, we need your help to do this. Please see our full deck below and feel free to reach out with any questions.

What an incredible first few weeks of the year. We knew that padel was getting popular but we did not expect this. Here is some of what we are proud to have achieved in the last two weeks: - We officially have 255 registered members, making us not only the largest university padel society in the UK but also the largest sports club at Durham University. - We have got 108 people on court this week, with over 50% being female. - We have introduced the game to 40 complete beginners, a start in achieving our aim of growing the sport at the university level. - We have kept our promise of making padel as affordable as possible, charging just £4 for an hour of padel. We have got lots more exciting things in the pipeline, including an 18-pair match against Newcastle next week, the first northern NUPL fixture, and a potentially record-breaking tournament...! Another huge thanks to all of our sponsors for making this possible and we are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead. tutor2u Geoff Riley FRSA Wilder Events Padel 22 Ben Nichols Novor Padel VIBEPADEL Joe Middleton The Padel Directory The Padel Paper

A great write-up on us and our plans for the upcoming year!

Are you a company looking to build their sponsorship portfolio at Durham University but unsure why a Padel Society could be of interest? As PLAYTOMIC and Strategy& of the PwC group's report highlighted, Padel in the UK is on the "brink of significant growth". While numbers have been growing for a while, late 2024 and early 2025 are pinpointed as potential boom points for the sport. It is no wonder that many companies are turning towards Padel as a popular alternative corporate event. We at Durham Padel Society are well placed to benefit from that and look forward to increased membership numbers and a true buzz around the society. With nearby access to True Padel's premium 9 court facility, we foresee Durham Padel being at the centre of the sports growth at university level. Having already held the largest university event in early 2024, we are looking to build on this, with bigger and bolder events in the coming year. We invite you to be a part of this. For those looking to tap into a growing Durham University community and wanting to help the sports development in the North-East, please do get in contact. The Padel revolution is underway, but there is lots more to come! #durham #northeast #durhamuniversity #university #padel #padelclub #padelgrowth #communitygrowth #sports #sportsinvestment #sponsorshipopportunity #networking
