Maidstone
The big one, out west. Nine pickleball courts in Maidstone, a bar and lounge, and six padel courts (opening Saturday 17 October 2026).

Corporate days, team offsites, Christmas parties, charity draws and club tournaments. Everyone's playing inside ten minutes whatever they did or didn't do at school. We run the format, the coaching and the scoring. You bring the group and pick the venue.

All ages
A young club, and everyone plays at it.
Modern room, big events calendar, young crowd. We like it that way. It's also got a masters program, open play from beginner through 4.5, and a first-timer's night, often all in the same week. All ages, all grades, all abilities. On a doubles court that mix isn't a compromise, it's the appeal.
Padel · The Jar Maidstone
Padel at Maidstone. Opening Saturday 17 October 2026.
Six glass-walled courts at Maidstone. Underarm serve, doubles only, and you can play the ball off the back wall. Bookings available now. Introductory court hire is $50 per court, per hour.
