FAQ

Good to know.

What does it cost?+

You pay your share of the court and your own drinks, nothing more. No membership fee while we're starting out.

I'm a total beginner, is that ok?+

Totally, all levels are welcome. We just try to put you with people around your level, so the games stay close and fun whether it's your first time or your hundredth.

Where does it happen?+

Somewhere in the Netherlands. We pick a venue each session based on where most of the group is that month, and you'll see it on the Luma event.

How often?+

Once a month as the base, with the occasional extra, like a mini-tournament or a special guest.

Can I bring someone?+

If they're building something too, yes, just have them request access so we keep the vibe right.

About the builder

Why I built Builders Padel Club

I started Builders Padel Club because I want to play more padel, and I've realised how much I love community building. Simple as that, it just sounded fun.

There are more and more hackathons and build events lately. Great, but also kind of a lot. And communities are having a real moment. So I mash the two together, with one rule: keep it about fun.

Partner up

Help us make it happen.

Builders Padel Club runs on courts, balls and drinks. We're looking for a partner or sponsor who wants their name in front of a community of builders, makers and founders across the Netherlands, and who'd like to help get the first sessions on court.
