Women's Padel Tournaments in Manchester

Who it is for

• Players entering a first competitive event
• Improvers who want close matches in a Division 1 draw
• Advanced players (4.0+) looking for a Premier field locally
• Anyone without a regular doubles partner

How the women's draws work

The women's programme started as a single draw and now splits into Premier for advanced players and Division 1 for improvers, each with its own podium, prize pot and Championship Points. Both run on the same matchday, with a league stage of short matches and rotating partners before the knockouts.

Queen of the Court

Queen of the Court is a singles Americano day at Destination Padel Cheadle: you play everyone, match points accumulate individually and the highest total takes the crown.

What level to enter

• Division 1 — improvers and first-time competitors
• Premier — advanced players, roughly Playtomic 4.0 and above
• Levels are confirmed before play, so first-timers are not drawn against 4.5 players
• Ask in the women's WhatsApp community if you are unsure which to enter

Recent women's champions

Ling took the first women's title at Destination Padel Cheadle ahead of Holly Barratt and Jean. At Carbon Padel Club Manchester, Natalie won Premier from Pauline and Emma, and Alice took Division 1 ahead of Ana and Maleace. Every women's podium stays on the results pages.

How the women's programme grew

The first women's draw ran at Destination Padel Cheadle as a single 18-player field. It sold out, so the next round split into Premier and Division 1 — and both filled. Since then the women's programme has run at Carbon Padel Club Manchester and Manchester Padel Club, and the bank holiday Queen of the Court singles day was added because the demand was for more court time rather than more categories.

That growth was driven almost entirely by the women's WhatsApp community, which is now the fastest route to hearing about a new draw before it sells.

What to expect on a women's matchday

• Check-in and level confirmation fifteen minutes before your draw starts
• A short on-court briefing covering scoring and rotation
• League stage of short matches with rotating partners
• Knockouts, podium presentation, photos and prize money
• Draws timed so Premier and Division 1 players can watch each other's finals
