Padel Tournaments for Midlands Players
Padel Grid is a championship season of one-day padel tournaments. You enter on your own, partners rotate through the league stage, and every finish feeds one season-long standings table.
Our rounds currently run in Greater Manchester and Cheshire — around 90 minutes from Birmingham and under an hour from Stoke. Midlands venues are on the expansion list, and the waitlist decides where we go first.

Why Midlands players enter

- Divisions graded by Playtomic level, from 2.5 upwards
- Closest rounds are 45–90 minutes from Stoke, Birmingham and Derby
- Midlands venue partners wanted for the next expansion round
Midlands rounds — what's happening
There are no Midlands dates on the season map yet. We add venues where there's a clear group of players asking for one, so the waitlist is what decides the first Midlands round.
In the meantime, Midlands entries are welcome at every North West round — same graded divisions, same individual entry, same standings table.

Not yet. Every round this season is in Greater Manchester or Cheshire. The Midlands is on the expansion list and the waitlist decides which venue we approach first.

Cheshire rounds are around 1h20 by road; Stoke players can reach Northwich in under an hour.
I run a padel club in the Midlands — can you host a round here?
That's exactly how new regions start. Get in touch and we'll talk through court numbers, dates and what a round needs.
