OUR SOCIALS
GET STARTED WITH PLAYTOMIC
Whether you're a seasoned athlete or have never picked up a racket before, padel is the perfect sport for everyone. Here at GSM, we believe Padel is easy to learn, fun to play, and incredibly social. Padel combines the best elements of tennis and squash in a fast paced yet beginner friendly game.
Our club hosts regular events for all skill levels from relaxed social matches to friendly tournaments designed to bring people together on and off the court. Come along, meet new players, and experience the joy of padel in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
No experience? No problem. Just bring your enthusiasm, we’ll provide the rest!
GET INVOLVED
INTRODUCTION TO PADEL
MONDAY 10:00AM - 11:00AM
New to padel? Perfect. Our Introduction to Padel social is all about having a laugh, meeting fellow newbies, and figuring out which end of the racket to hold. No judgement, just good vibes.
We’ll mix in some light coaching, easy games, and plenty of chances to shout “sorry!” after missing the ball entirely. It’s fun and friendly, so come as you are, we’ll take care of the rest (yes, even the rules).
Bookings available through playtomic. Head to 'learn'.SESSIONS WITH CRAIG LEESE

Have a few matches under your belt? These Socials are your chance to build on your “just about there” skills led by Matt Blaydon. It’s less about winning points and more about improving your game with fellow players.
No egos, no judgment, just a whole lot of laughs, good vibes, and a ball or two that actually goes over the net. Come for the social, stay for the "did I just do that?" moments.

Think padel is just for the young and restless? Think again. Our 50+ Social is where wisdom meets wicked backhands.
Whether you're here to show the youngsters how it's really done or fancy yourself a fun, low-pressure 60 minutes, followed by a well-earned coffee, this is your court. No neon trainers or TikTok dances required, just good company, great rallies, and the occasional cheeky drop shot.

EARLY BIRD COFFEE AND PADEL
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS
Wake up, caffeinate, dominate. Early Bird Coffee and Padel is where your mornings get a glow-up. We’re hosting both men’s only and women’s only sessions, so you can smash forehands, miss a few overheads, and still look composed doing it. Think competitive rallies, questionable shots, great vibes, and even better coffee afterwards, because nothing builds Padel friendships like a shared espresso and a post-match debrief. Early starts, good laughs, and just enough intensity to justify that second cup.
Mens’ Sessions - Wednesday 6:00AM
Womens’ Sessions - Wednesday 7:00AM
Bookings available through playtomic. Head to 'compete'.
AMERICANO, WITH AMERICANO
MULTIPLE RUNNING EACH WEEK AIMED AT SPECIFIC PLAYTOMIC LEVELS
Don’t talk to me before I’ve had my morning coffee? Fine, but do play me in a high-energy doubles match. Then we’ll talk.
In Americano, you’ll switch teammates after every fast-paced, high-energy match. Score points as you go, and by the end, once everyone’s played, the top scorer gets eternal glory (or at least bragging rights).
Oh, and the best part? Free Americano. The coffee kind. Or whatever caffeine keeps your game sharp.

FAST-4 TOURNAMENT
FRIDAY: 7:00PM ONCE A MONTH (BOOKINGS OPEN THREE WEEKS IN ADVANCE)
Our Fast-4 Tournament is made for players who like their padel fast, fierce, and competitive.
The tournament is a knockout structure, with the winning team advancing through each round en route to the final. Matches are played as best of two short sets (first to four games) with a tie break played at three games all. It’s your chance to prove you can bring the heat and show you’ve got what it takes to be champions of Congleton. The tournament winners can choose between a free court slot for four players or a free branded shirt for each team member and, of course, the status of GSM Royalty in the form of the glorious Fast-4 Trophy.
At the end of the tournament, for those who are partial to a crisp pint or a glass of prosecco, the on-site bar will remain open until closing.
*Entry into the Fast-4 Tournament guarantees each player two matches minimum. If you are eliminated in the first round, you will still be scheduled for a second match. Date and time will be announced three weeks before planned tournament. Date and time subject to change.
