Padel Centre FAQ

Padel is a fast‑growing racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It’s played on a court surrounded by a combination of glass and mesh walls, using light rackets and a slightly depressurised ball. The game is usually played in doubles, making it a fun, social activity for players of all ages and skill levels.

All court bookings are handled through the MatchPoint booking platform. You can log in via our website or through the Padel Centre NZ app, select an available time slot and confirm your booking in just a few clicks. First‑time users will need to create a free account.

You can book online without downloading anything, but many players find it convenient to use our dedicated mobile app. It’s built on the MatchPoint system and lets you reserve courts, manage bookings, receive notifications, sign up for lessons, memberships and receive updates from us on the go.
