Find a padel partner in Aarhus
Padel is best played with four people. That’s also the biggest hurdle for most people: it’s easy to find one person who wants to play, but difficult to find three.
Here are some ways that work if you’re looking for someone to play with in Aarhus.
Makkerbørsen on Facebook
Padel Lounge Aarhus has its own partner-finding group: the Facebook group Partner exchange - Padel Lounge Aarhus. The group has been set up for exactly what its name suggests — to find teammates and opponents for matches at the centre in Aarhus.
It works best if you’re specific. Say which day and at what time you’re available, and what level you play at. „Anyone fancied a game on Wednesday at 7 pm?“ gets more replies than „Anyone fancied a game of padel?“
Book the pitch first
It sounds a bit backwards, but that’s often what makes the arrangement work out. Book a court, post the time in the group chat, and let people sign up for a time slot that’s available, rather than haggling over when you’re going to play.
We’re open every day from 05.00 to 24.00, and the minimum booking is 60 minutes. If you’re unsure about the price, a double lane costs from 178 kr. per hour — 44.50 kr. per person when there are four of you.
Bring along two people who haven’t played before
Padel is easy to get started with. The walls keep the ball in play, the serve is played underhand, and most people get the hang of it within a quarter of an hour. Rackets can be hired at the centre, and balls can be bought on site, so nobody needs to invest in equipment just to give it a go.
This makes it a realistic idea to ask colleagues, neighbours or anyone from your course, even if they’ve never held a bat before. See the guide Padel for beginners in Aarhus, if you want to send them something to read first.
Are there only two of you?
That way, you won’t have to wait for anyone else. Book the singles court. It costs 128 kr. per hour during the day, which works out at 64 kr. per person. There’s only one singles court in Aarhus, so you’ll need to book it well in advance. Read more in the guide Singles or doubles padel in Aarhus?
Tournaments and events
Padel Lounge Aarhus organises regular tournaments. It’s one of the easiest ways to meet other players, as you’re paired with people you don’t already know. See the latest ones on the page about padel tournaments.
Book a fixed time in your diary
Once you’ve found each other, a fixed weekly slot is what keeps it going. It’s harder to cancel on three other people than on yourself.
Spiller I fast, kan et medlemskab være billigere end at betale pr. gang. Husk dog, at medlemskabet er personligt — de andre tre pladser på banen skal dækkes af et gyldigt medlemskab eller en betalt gæstepris – også hvis I er færre end fire, der spiller. See which membership is right for you.
