In this episode, we explore why padel isn’t as accessible as it could be—despite being one of the easiest sports to pick up and enjoy with friends. From court costs, indoor vs. outdoor play, and equipment, to coaching availability, we break down the barriers that make the game more challenging for newcomers.

Tom and Sandy also share insights on how the sport could evolve in the next five years, making paddle more affordable and reachable for players everywhere. Whether you’re a beginner, looking to get back into the game, or curious about the growth of paddle worldwide, this episode sheds light on what accessibility really means in the sport.
