GMFRS Padel Section News

We have seen a huge increase in the popularity of the sport recently with many members of the service both current and retired staff taking up padel rackets.

We have now secured a start-up grant from the Sports and Welfare Association and are booking courts on a regular basis at The Power League Manchester, Nicholls Community Football and Padel Centre, Dalberg Street, Ardwick, Manchester, M12 6BN.

The courts are sheltered from the rain and with six courts available the centre has plenty of room to accommodate many padel players.

With rackets and tennis balls available for hire at the centre you can register your interest by emailing the section lead Ethan Lofthouse via Ethan.Lofthouse@manchesterfire.gov.uk or our Sports and Welfare Coordinator Gaz Phillips via Sports.Welfarecoordinator@manchesterfire.gov.uk
