About
Bringing padel to all.
We build padel courts and help clubs plan places to play. Our first two courts are in Dunedin.
The story
How Pure Padel began.
Pure Padel was founded in 2023 after two of us played padel in Bali and wanted to bring it to New Zealand.
Our aim is to give more people a place to play. Alongside the courts, we help plan booking, entry, coaching and club activities.
Our two Dunedin courts are open. A new club is planned for Ōrākei, Auckland.

What is padel?
A racket sport played in pairs.
Padel is usually played by four people on an enclosed court. You serve underarm, use tennis-style scoring and can play the ball off the glass after it bounces.
The sport began in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1969. Read our guide to learn how to play.
01
Serve low
Start each point with an underarm serve.
02
Let it bounce
The ball can rebound from your glass after it bounces.
03
Play as four
Two players on each team.
04
Score like tennis
Points use 15, 30, 40 and game.
For your first game, wear court shoes, bring water and arrive early enough to find the courts. Check your booking for equipment and entry details.
