Our Story
Padel was first introduced to South Africa at the Val De Vie Estate in Paarl, in 2019.
In October 2020, the South African Padel Association (SAPA) was formed, and in January 2021 SAPA was included as an associate member of Tennis South Africa (TSA).
We are the national governing body for the sport of padel in South Africa and are close to being recognized by the International Padel Federation (FIP) and African Padel Confederation (CAP).
