Padel Tournaments for North East 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, with Yorkshire next on the expansion list. North East players are welcome at every round — and a North East venue is exactly the kind of expansion the waitlist drives.

Why North East players enter

- Divisions graded by Playtomic level, from 2.5 upwards
- Yorkshire rounds planned first — much closer for North East players
- North East venue partners wanted for a future expansion round
North East rounds — what's happening
There are no North East 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 where we go after Yorkshire.
In the meantime, North East entries are welcome at every round — same graded divisions, same individual entry, same standings table.

Around 2h15 by road to the Lancashire and Manchester rounds. Planned Yorkshire rounds will be significantly closer.
