AHC tries Padel!

How better to spend a free evening between summer league quarter finals than to trial Padel?!

Abingdon Hockey Club's latest summer social was hosted at Smash Padel Oxford. 14 players headed up to their 3 new outdoor courts for an introductory session with Marianne.

As the evening summer sun slowly dropped to the horizon, an Americano tournament was underway. Padel is an incredibly accessible sport, somewhere between squash and tennis. Supporting fitness and well-being, it tests your ability to serve, chip and volley your way to outsmart your opponent, boasting the walls whilst you are at it.

It was incredibly easy to pick up and whilst no one was ever quite sure of the score, I think we will be back for a rematch!

The victory bubbles from our round-robin tournament went to Curt. Well done!

A huge thank you to Smash Padel Oxford for introducing us to their sport and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
