For anyone who has given padel a thought, now is the time, as prize money for entry-level players is at stake!

VEREENIGING – It was fun, but also serious business when the Vitality Padel Series, a country-wide tournament designed to celebrate the explosive growth of the sport in South Africa, was hosted at 10by20 Three Rivers on September 20.

Padel is a dynamic fusion of tennis and squash, and has taken the world by storm with over 25 million players across 90 countries.

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

The next tournament in the Vaal will be at 10by20 Vanderbijlpark (Cornwallis Harris Street, SE7) on November 8.

The ladies were competitive, but the games were played in good spirit.

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.

Prizes
