Customer reviews
Great student price, but booking a court in summer outside of club times can be difficult.
John M
Finding competitive matches is incredibly easy through their WhatsApp groups, saving me so much money compared to commercial padel centers.

The beginner clinics are fantastic for meeting other Leiden students.

Perfect location near the university, all gear is also like brand new.
Andy R.
Being an international student here feels incredibly welcoming, although grabbing a prime evening court requires you to be extremely fast.
Andy R.
I joined to stay active between lectures, and I stayed for the amazing social drinks at the cozy sports bar.
Andy R.
The coaches actually teach proper technique instead of just letting us play, which helped my game improve during exam season.

Common questions
Do I need my own racket or balls?
No you do not need any padel equipment, the USC has plenty of equipment available for use. If you play outside of the club’s hours though you may need to rent these.
Can I join for just a semester?
Absolutely! Do be aware that based on Club rules you will be paying for at least a full year. Don’t worry though, the rates are student-friendly! If you are unsure how often you will be playing, you can also just rent a court from the USC reception directly sometimes (outside of the Club hours).
How much is the fee to join?
Currently the rate is set at 65 euro’s per year if you are a student. For Alumni or external players these rates can differ. DO be aware that you need an active USC sports subscription before you can join the padel club.
Do I need to buy a university sports card (USC subscription) on top of the club fee?
Yes, due to University rules you need to be in possession of a sports subscription from the USC.
Are you open to international students?
Ofcourse!
