The action at the Pro Am Padel Tour didn’t stop on Tuesday though, with Wednesday’s action consisting of a Community Day in Partnership with the LTA. This event ran from 11am-5pm on 15th October and allowed an opportunity for local school children to come down to Padium and receive a special lesson from former Great Britain player, Frankie Langan, who gave the children a taste of how fun the sport can be!

The Community Day was dedicated to inclusion and accessibility in padel, with schools, community groups, and adaptive athletes all in attendance. Groups who were involved included Padel & Prams, founded by GB pro Victoria Nicholas and Emma Powell, helping new mums return to exercise and FemPadel Collective, a global padel community to support, champion and empower women and girls in Padel. The day reaffirmed the Tour’s mission to grow padel at every level, inspire the next generation, and ensure the game remains open, social, and inclusive for all.

Oliver Morgan, Founder of the Pro Am Padel Tour, was delighted with how the event played out, stating: “The 2025 Pro Am Padel Tour was our biggest and boldest yet, but what truly sets it apart is the sense of community and connection it creates both on and off the court. From sporting legends to grassroots engagement, we’ve built something that celebrates padel, entertainment, and social impact in equal measure.”.
