The Racket and Ball Club in Bree Street, Cape Town, will soon need to apply some major Q20 spray to its front doors, as Padel enthusiasts regularly frequent this popular venue, which serves as one of South Africa’s elite indoor centres.
Since its establishment in 2023, the Racket and Ball Club continues to build itself as a prime spot for Padel players with a healthy community of over 3000 players per month, even during the colder months, which is a testament not only to the venue’s hospitality and catering facilities but more importantly the commitment of the players and the growth of the sport in South Africa.
The top-class venue, which includes four indoor Padel courts, has hosted various Padel players at different stages of their sporting journeys as the arena hosts several shows, including seasonal leagues.
Not too long ago, Racket and Ball hosted the Aston Martin R275 000 cash tournament sponsored by PokerBet in March. Just this past weekend, Racket and Ball successfully rolled out the Maximos Cup which saw the Hungarian national Padel team touch down in Mzansi for the time to compete against RBC’s (Racket and Ball Club) national team.
After six rounds of action over four days, South Africa walked away victorious with a 62 -10 result.
Later this month, on June 27th, another fast-rising brand in Cape Town in the form of Padel4Good returns to the Racket and Ball courts for its fourth show of the year with a Men’s tournament catering for players rated between 2- 5 on the PlayTomic App.
This will be P4G’s second Men’s tournament for the year and straight off the back of an intense 6-hour Mixed event that took place less than two weeks ago.
There, under the bright RBC lights, Richard and Kim Woolrich were crowned the first P4G mixed champions of 2025 after beating the dangerous duo of GP & Lena-Lisa Bester in the final of the competition that catered for 32 players registered on the PlayTomic App.
While this month's Padel4Good Men’s event is already sold out, fans and Padel enthusiasts are welcome to come watch the event. The show will start at 6 pm. For more details, visit Padel4Good or Racket and Ball’s Instagram accounts.
