Players
The British Padel Academy supports committed and aspiring players — juniors and adults — through high-quality coaching, structured training, and access to exclusive development opportunities. Players within the academy benefit from reduced coaching rates, performance-focused sessions, and a clear pathway to progress. Many have gone on to represent Great Britain, reflecting the academy’s impact at the highest levels of the sport.
Rosie Quirk
Rosie has only been playing the sport for little over a year and with a strong tennis background behind her she has been able to adapt to the game of Padel to elevate her to No 1 in the LTA national women's ranking. Along with her partner Chloe they have taken the Padel tour by storm with beating some GB players and winning 4 Grade 2 LTA titles at 14 and 15 years of age.
