Create a padel match: fill the open spots quickly
Want to create a padel match but missing players? On Padelpoolen you set one up in under a minute and vacant spots fill automatically with players at your level in your city.
How to create a padel match: step by step
- Create an account and pick your city. Read about padel community and how your network grows per city.
- Set date, time, venue and address. The clearer the info, the faster spots fill.
- Pick level (1–10) and format (singles or doubles). Not sure how to rate yourself? How the 1–10 scale works.
- Open or private match. Open matches appear in the match feed for everyone in your city. Private is invite-only.
- Publish and wait. Vacant spots typically fill within a few hours when the match is tagged correctly.
Open match: how spots fill automatically
When you publish an open match it lands in the public match feed. Players in your city can join instantly. For best results:
- Set a realistic level, too high or too low scares players off.
- Pick a time that suits many (evenings, weekends).
- Write a clear description: casual, training or competitive.
Private match: great for club regulars
If you already have a group you play with regularly, create the match as private. It won't show in the public feed and you invite the specific players you want. Perfect for regular teams and company matches.
Create matches in your city
Matches are tagged per city. We have pages per city, e.g. Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, Linköping, Norrköping and every other city.
