Padel courts have been introduced on the Isle of Man, offering a new sporting experience described as "something completely new." The courts were tried by local tennis players Amy Bourbon, Charlotte Brooks, Linda Bates, and Helen Brooks, who were keen to test the emerging racket sport.
The initiative was reported by Catherine Nicoll for BBC on November 3, 2026. Padel, a hybrid of tennis and squash, is growing in popularity worldwide, and the Isle of Man's new facilities aim to attract both seasoned players and newcomers.
