Find people to play padel with, near you
Padel has one problem, and it isn't the technique. You need four people, on the same court, at the same time, and one of them always drops out on the morning.
Clubs will sell you a court. What they can't sell you is three other people at your level who are free on Thursday at seven, which is the actual thing standing between you and a game.
That's the bit Neya does: finding the other three, and keeping them in the diary.
Somebody suggests it. Neya does the rest.

What Neya does for padel
- Finds players near you at roughly your level, not the county champion
- Makes up the four, so a game never dies at three
- Asks the group which evening works, then locks it in
- Chases the maybe on the morning, before the court is wasted

Any questions?
- I've never played. Is that a problem?
- No. Beginner games are the most common plan on Neya, and they say so in the title, so everyone turning up knows what they're turning up to. Most people find their first session is largely other people's first session.
- Do I need my own racket?
- Most clubs hire them for a few pounds. It's the kind of thing worth asking in the group chat before the day, and somebody always has a spare.
- What if we can't get four?
- Neya invites other players nearby who are up for padel, so a plan that's short usually fills. If it doesn't, she tells the group rather than letting everyone turn up to find out.
