What to Bring to Padel Dome

If you are heading to Padel Dome Santry for the first time, here is what you need:

  • Padel racket — The venue may have rental rackets, but having your own makes a big difference. Check our best padel rackets for beginners guide if you are not sure where to start.
  • Padel balls — Bring a fresh tin for the best playing experience. Padel balls are different from tennis balls with lower pressure for the enclosed court.
  • Court shoes — Indoor court shoes or specific padel shoes with herringbone or omni soles. Avoid running shoes — you need grip and lateral support.
  • Comfortable sportswear — Standard gym or tennis clothing is perfect.
  • Water — Padel is more physically demanding than it looks, especially indoors.
