In a positive step for grassroots padel, Padel Peeps and iPadel have announced a key partnership grounded in shared values of inclusivity, accessibility and community growth.
The two organisations have joined forces with a common goal to reach more players, support one another’s missions and build a padel culture where everyone feels welcome, no matter their background, ability or experience.
Founded by England players Lucie Wade and Karen Hazzard, Padel Peeps is known for its warm, ego-free events that combine coaching with social matchplay in a relaxed, supportive setting.
iPadel – created by UK padel pioneer Ian Colligon – has been driving the development of padel since 2015 through its national league structure, coaching support and focus on making competitive play accessible to all.
“We’re both working toward the same vision,” said Lucie Wade. “This partnership isn’t about big sponsorship deals, it’s about lifting each other up and sharing platforms so we can reach more players and grow the sport in the right way.”
“Padel Peeps have created something really special,” said Ian Colligon. “We’re proud to stand beside them. This partnership is about community first, supporting players, sharing opportunities and helping each other reach further.”
Together, Padel Peeps and iPadel will continue to promote padel that’s fun, fair, and open to all – with a little help from each other. 🎾
