Powerleague Manchester Nicholls

About this club

Converted from part of Powerleague's five-a-side football centre at Nicholls Community Football Centre on Dalberg Street in Ardwick, these panoramic courts sit under high-quality canopies with indoor-style LED lighting, and courts 1, 4 and 5 have camera recording so games can be reviewed afterwards. Manchester Piccadilly and Ardwick are the closest stations.

Powerleague pitches it as 'Manchester's most accessible padel destination'. Play is pay and play through Playtomic, from £7 per person on shared 60- or 90-minute sessions, with rackets to hire and equipment for sale. The programme covers structured group lessons, beginner intros, one-on-one sessions, daily mix-ins, beginner socials, Powerleague's own padel leagues and tournaments, and corporate or group bookings; academy sessions cost £15 to £18.

The clubhouse, shared with the football centre, has food and drink, changing rooms, lockers, a store, vending machines and WiFi.
