This May, Worsley Sports Club will celebrate the opening of Padel16, four brand new premium padel courts designed to enhance the club’s facilities and inject new energy into its community around Worsley.
Owned by professional footballer Fabio Borini, working alongside local businessman Anthony Bingham, Padel 16’s mission is to restore and transform local sports clubs, offering communities a refreshed space to connect, compete and socialise.
Padel, one of the fastest growing sports in the world, will be the cornerstone of a new era for Worsley Sports Club. The launch of Padel16 marks the first phase of a larger project aimed at breathing new life back into the club. Unlike conventional models, the revenue generated from the padel court will be reinvested into the club. This approach ensures sustained development, enhances community engagement, and supports continuous improvements to the facilities.
“Padel16 is about much more than just offering a fun, fast paced sport. It’s about giving back to the community and rebuilding the club for the future,” said Fabio Borini, the driving force behind the project.
“By putting the money back into the club, we’re not only creating a new space for the community to enjoy, we’re also laying the foundation for its future. This is just the start – we have big plans to expand, evolve and build an exciting hub for everyone in the area.”
As part of the transformation, future phases will see the introduction of a barista coffee station, followed by unique dining experiences for club members and visitors. This gradual evolution of the club aims to create a space where people can not only enjoy padel but also socialise, relax and feel connected to their community.
Jane Howarth at Worsley Sports Club said: “We are absolutely delighted to be partnering with Padel16 to bring something innovative and exciting to our club. Padel is a totally new concept for us and it marks a new chapter in the club’s future. We are excited to see it thrive alongside our long-established existing sports, bowling, cricket, tennis and croquet all played in the most incredible setting.”
Padel16 will open its courts on 4th May 2025 at Worsley Sports Club. For more information, please visit www.padel16.co.uk .
