New Zealand’s First National Padel Tournament

April 2025, The Padel Club, Papamoa

Indoor Padel was proudly represented at the first-ever National Padel Tournament, hosted by The Padel Club in Papamoa this April.

Coach Ignacio teamed up with Jorge Goiko in Men’s A Grade and took out the silver medal after a strong performance throughout the weekend.

Adam Pejcic and Karl Bennetts played their first tournament together in Men’s B Grade, making it all the way to the quarter-finals, an amazing effort from two of our newer players.

In Women’s B Grade, Caitlin Gray and Isabella Pejcic dominated the draw and brought home the gold medals, we can’t wait to see them step up to A Grade at the next one!

Thank you to our supporters Babolat and LSKD, and a big shoutout to The Padel Club for hosting such a fantastic event.

Club owner Chiara was there all weekend cheering everyone on, long days at the courts, but so worth it to see our players shine.
