Hello! We're a small family living in Ankara: me, my wife and our 5-year-old daughter. We discovered padel not long ago, and playing as a couple turned into a happy habit from day one. If you're curious how we got started, you can read our origin story.
What do we do here?
Our goal is simple: to share everything we learn on our padel journey —from choosing a racket to gear, down to the small details we wished we'd known before stepping on court— with other beginners like us. Nothing for sale, no ads; just our own experience, research and a few honest tips.
Our real dream
We see padel not only as a sport, but as a way for families to enjoy time together. Our biggest wish is for this sport to spread in Türkiye as part of how families share their time.
For that, we wholeheartedly believe in two things: more child-friendly courts, and the sport growing into a culture played as a family from an early age. We want our children to remember sport not as an obligation, but as a joyful moment shared with family.
We'd love to meet you
We'd love to meet families with young children like ours, and couples who want to play together, and to try this sport together —at least once; everyone is welcome, with or without kids. 🙂 If you'd like to start padel in Ankara, get on court as a family, or simply join us on this journey, you can reach us on Instagram (@padelfamilyturkiye). See you on court!
A small warning:if you play with us, mid-match —especially towards the end— you might run into a 5-year-old player sprinting across the middle of the court. She doesn't quite know the rules yet, but she's the best on the team for morale. Thanks in advance for your understanding. 🙂
