A Padel Christmas Party
Start with a lesson, finish with a trophy. A coached padel session for your team, then a small tournament against other London companies.
The short answer
What is a padel Christmas party?
A Christmas social built around padel. Your team starts with a coached lesson, so complete beginners are rallying within minutes, then plays a small tournament against teams from other London companies. Secta books the indoor courts, the coach and the format. Play it on its own, or before your Christmas party.

Padel is the easiest sport to get a whole team playing. It is played in pairs on a small enclosed court, the walls keep the ball in play, and most people are rallying within half an hour. That makes it a good Christmas social for teams where not everyone plays football.
The evening has two halves. First a coached lesson, so everyone knows the basics and nobody feels left out. Then a small tournament against teams from other London companies, with a winner and a trophy. Play it as your Christmas social on its own, or head to the party afterwards.
