The Padel Local opens in Alwoodley in Summer 2026, and the people on the waitlist now are the ones who will shape what this club becomes. Membership comes in two tiers: Founders Membership at £500 a year, limited to a small group who get the most from the club from day one, and Playing Membership at £20 a month or £200 a year. Joining the waitlist is free, commits you to nothing, and puts you first in the queue: first on the courts, first to claim a founding place, first through the door at our pre-opening events. Padel membership in Leeds starts here.
We're a pre-opening club, so we'll be straight about what you're signing up for. The waitlist is free to join and commits you to nothing. What it gives you is a place in the queue that matters before a single court is booked. When membership opens, waitlist members are served first — and founding places are limited, so the order of the queue genuinely decides who gets one. Founders Membership is £500 a year and comes loaded: a free individual court credit every month that carries over, a founders welcome pack, a membership card with 10% off in the pro shop and café plus access to all social events and academy sessions, a 28-day advance booking window, a drinks loyalty card, and an exclusive founders opening event before the doors open to anyone else. Join now and you're holding a founding member's seat at a new padel club in North Leeds.
Two courts make an intimate club by design, and prime evening and weekend slots will move fast. Waitlist members get priority court booking from the day we open, so the peak times everyone wants are offered to founding members before general release. You won't be refreshing a booking page hoping for scraps — you'll already be in the system, already recognised, already ahead. For anyone serious about playing padel in Leeds regularly, that head start is the most practical reason to be on the list. You can see the courts you'll be booking on our courts page: covered, panoramic and built to international federation spec, so play carries on rain or shine, all year round.
Founders Membership is £500 a year, limited in number and reserved for the people who back the club before the canopy has a roof. Playing Membership is £20 a month or £200 a year, and brings 10% off all court bookings and a 14-day advance booking window — double the public 7-day window. We won't dangle a fake discount or a countdown timer to manufacture urgency. The urgency is simply this — two courts, a growing community across Alwoodley, Moortown, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Shadwell and Harewood, and a finite number of founding places. The waitlist hears about everything first.
Before the club opens to everyone, founding members are invited to exclusive pre-opening events: first hits on the new courts, meet-the-coaches evenings with Oliver and Adam, and previews of the wider setup — the coffee and food, the retail shop for rackets, balls and grips, the changing rooms and the balcony terrace overlooking play. These aren't generic launch parties. They're where a club's founding community is formed, and your place at them comes from being on the list early. It's also the warmest way to learn the game — no pressure, no intimidation, just padel introduced the way it should be.
Membership here sits inside the Alwoodley Community Association, so The Padel Local is woven into something already alive — a licensed bar, live sport on the screens, community events and a genuinely local atmosphere. Padel membership in Leeds with us isn't a transactional gym card; it's a reason to keep coming back, whether you're playing, coaching, watching from the terrace or meeting friends for coffee. We're building the kind of place you want to belong to even on the days you're not on court. That's the difference a founding community makes, and it starts with the people on this waitlist.
Joining takes under a minute. Add your name and email to the waitlist on this page and you're in — priority court booking from day one, first access to founding-member rates, and your invitation to our pre-opening events. No spam, ever, just genuinely useful updates as we count down to opening. If you'd rather ask a question first — about coaching levels, accessibility, getting here, or anything else — reach out through our contact page and Oliver or Adam will reply personally. New to the sport? Start with our coaching programmes for beginners through advanced. Want the bigger picture? Read why we're putting padel back in North Leeds. The list is open. Be one of the first.
No. The waitlist is completely free and commits you to nothing. It secures your priority place for booking, founding-member rates and pre-opening events when The Padel Local opens in Alwoodley in Summer 2026.
Founders Membership is £500 a year — including a monthly court credit that carries over, a founders welcome pack, 10% off in the pro shop and café, access to all social events and academy sessions, a 28-day advance booking window, a drinks loyalty card and an exclusive founders opening event. Playing Membership is £20 a month or £200 a year, with 10% off court bookings and a 14-day advance booking window — double the public 7-day window. Founding places are limited and offered to the waitlist first.
With two covered courts, peak evening and weekend slots are limited. Waitlist members are offered booking priority from day one, so founding members reach the most popular times before general release.
We open in Summer 2026 in Alwoodley, North Leeds, at the Alwoodley Community Association on The Avenue, LS17 7NZ. The current site is a waitlist for founding members.
Anyone — whether you've never picked up a racket or you play competitively. Founding membership is open to players across Alwoodley, Moortown, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Shadwell, Harewood and the wider North Leeds area who join the waitlist before we open.
