The new padel courts have been designed to meet the highest standards of play, featuring high-quality artificial turf, glass and mesh walls, enhancing both recreational and competitive matches.

The expanded facilities will enable KTSCC to host larger tournaments, league matches, and offer additional coaching and social events, all aimed at growing the club's vibrant padel community.
