Napton Padel Club is a registered charity (no. 1216376). Coaching is delivered by our self-employed coach. The club's share of coaching fees, along with all membership and court hire income, will be used to run and sustain the charity's courts and community programmes. Any surplus will be reinvested in our charitable purposes, including support for local sports clubs.

Booking
All coaching is booked and paid for online in My Clubhouse, and you'll automatically see your own price. Lessons are booked from the coach's diary in the booking calendar. Courses, clinics, socials and school sessions are on the club's events calendar. Booking opens when the courts are complete.
Cancellations
- Cancel 24 hours or more before your session and you'll get a full refund automatically.
- Late cancellations and no-shows are not refunded.
- We don't offer one-to-one lessons. The smallest booking is a pairs lesson for two players.
- For private lessons, the person who books chooses the group size and pays for it. If someone drops out, the group covers the empty place or switches to a smaller booking before the 24-hour deadline.
- Clinics and courses need at least 3 players, checked 48 hours before. If fewer sign up, the session may be cancelled and you'll get a full refund.
- If the coach cancels, or it's too wet to play, you'll be offered a new time within two weeks or a full refund.
- Course weeks that are cancelled or rained off are rearranged, or added on at the end of the course. If you can't make the replacement, you'll be refunded for that week. Missing a course week yourself is not refunded.
