iPadel Club Leagues Winter 2022/2023

National Club Padel Leagues in the UK

The iPadel Club Leagues are aimed at club players who want to play competitive padel against other local padel clubs.

After increasingly successful summer and winter leagues in 2021 and 2022, we are now planning the 22/23 winter leagues. We will be running open (men or ladies) and ladies only leagues and will include mixed and the 100 (combined ages over 100, min age 45) leagues if there is sufficient interest.

Padel Ratings

League matches will be played between October 2022 and February 2023, with the winners of each region and runners up (depending on the number of teams in the league) qualifying for the national finals at We Are Padel Derby in March 2023. Trophies and prize money of £1,000 per category will be awarded to the winning teams, generously provided by We Are Padel, Derby.
