Cash prizes up for grabs in Vitality Padel Series
For anyone who has given padel a thought, this is the time as prize money, even at entry-level, is at stake!
The Vitality Padel Series, a country-wide tournament designed to celebrate the explosive growth of padel in South Africa and inspire more people to get active through the sport, will include two local venues: 10by20 Three Rivers on September 20, and 10by20 Vanderbijlpark on November 8.
According to BrandMapp’s 2024 research, padel is not only the fastest-growing sport in the country – it’s also one of the most inclusive, social, and accessible.
With a total of half a million rand in cash prizes up for grabs, the stakes are high – and the energy even higher.
Entries are open to the public via the Playtomic app, with a R200 entry fee per person.
Each club will crown men’s and women’s winners in two levels of competition, each receiving a cash prize.
If a winning player is a Discovery Bank client, the prize is doubled and paid directly into their Discovery Bank account.
