UCLA Alumni Padel Play Day

Alright Bruin Alumni - get your tennis outfits and sneakers on and come learn to play the hottest new sport in town - PADEL. Trust me - it is way better than pickleball. People describe it as tennis meets squash. And yes, you can smash the ball off the walls.
We have arranged a great morning day of padel that includes lessons/training (so if you have never played before - absolutely, no worries - Pura Padel has 3 great coaches that will teach us all how to play).
After the lessons, we will try some game/open play and some live ball activities so that we all get plenty of court time.
We will have strawberries and champagne too so that we can channel our inner Wimbledon dreams. And some great UCLA swag and giveaways.
No padel required as we have partnered with Wilson Padels and they are providing padels for us all to use that day.
So come out and play padel with your fellow alumni while learning to play this amazing new sport that is taking over the US.
If you have never seen padel – there are a ton of great Youtube videos so that you can see all of the fun. The padel community is really vibrant and super fun – so come join us.
