Padel Clubs Now Covered Under Our Sports Club Product
17 September 2025
Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK, and the numbers speak for themselves. In just five years, the number of players has surged from 15,000 to over 400,000 in the last 5 years. Similarly, facilities have expanded rapidly, with padel courts increasing from just 68 to more than 1,000 in the last 6 years.
With this rapid rise in popularity, we’re pleased to confirm that our Sports Clubs product now includes cover for padel clubs.
Why this matters for brokers
As the sport grows, so does the opportunity for brokers to support clubs and facilities looking for tailored insurance solutions. Many padel clubs are run independently or as part of larger leisure facilities, and they face unique risks around:
- Property & Equipment – covering specialist courts, rackets, ball machines, and related infrastructure.
- Public Liability – Protection against injury claims from members, visitors, or event attendees.
- Employers’ Liability – For clubs with staff, including coaches and groundskeepers.
- Business Interruption – Safeguarding income in the event of damage to premises or facilities.
Supporting the Growth of Padel in the UK
With participation numbers multiplying, padel clubs are emerging across cities, towns, and even within multi-sport complexes. By adding padel to our Sports Clubs product, brokers can now offer their clients a comprehensive and competitive insurance package specifically adapted to their needs.
This update ensures that we’re able to respond quickly to enquiries from new or existing clients who are part of this booming sector.
