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.

The Vitality Padel Series, in collaboration with Net Set Padel and 10by20, kicks off in September and runs through November, offering players of all levels the chance to compete in round-robin and knockout tournaments across 14 clubs nationwide.

With a total of half a million rand in cash prizes up for grabs, the stakes are high – and the energy even higher.

How to enter
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.
