British/Qatari Padel League and taster sessions
Love padel and want to find a fun and friendly league? New to the sport and need a taster session to get you started?
We are launching our British/Qatari Padel Box League this autumn. Hit the button below to join our league whatsapp community and get started.
We are also offering Padel taster sessions. These are 90 minute small group sessions with a padel playing Brit to help you learn the basics of the game. Equipment is included.
Demand has been high for these sessions so we are all booked up in November and December. We are working to offer more dates and times in January and February. Hit the sign up button below and we will tell you when we have more taster sessions available.
SEN-sational Family Outings
Safe, relaxed and inclusive outings where neurodivergent children and their families can be themselves and have fun.
We are holding the first of our SENsational Family Outings on Saturday 22nd November from 9am-11am at Bounce in Tawar Mall.
This event is specifically for neurodivergent children (autism, ADHD, PDA & more) and their families: the Bounce space will be closed to other customers during the first hour of this time.
The play session will cost 70 QR per child (one parent can go free with every paid child ticket). Please note: the play session will be in the main Bounce facilities (for ages 5 and over). Mini-Bounce is also available.
If you would like to join, hit the button below to join the whatsapp group for this outing.

Our next SEN parents and carers coffee morning will be on Saturday 15th November from 9am-10.30am at the Lobby Cafe, Hilton at The Pearl.
