The club has submitted a planning application to construct four courts under a lightweight canopy on a small section of its training paddock adjacent to the rugby pitches. Facing a decline in rugby participation, Walcot Rugby Club sees padel’s explosive growth as an opportunity. With no existing padel facilities in Bath, the club hopes that offering this fast-growing sport will attract a broader community, support the club financially, and provide more amenities for members and families during training sessions.
