There’s a new social ritual sweeping Dubai, and it’s played with a racket.
As padel cements its place as the UAE’s fastest-growing sport, The Padel Mob is leading a movement that blends fitness with friendship and competition with community. Founded by Peter Blenman, Daniel Agard and Jason Dolphin, what began as casual weekend games among friends has evolved into a dynamic padel collective with a cult following and a calendar full of buzzy events.
Weekly sessions unfold at premium venues across Dubai and beyond, welcoming all levels of players with a laid-back, inclusive energy. Whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time or perfecting your serve, The Padel Mob offers a connection-first approach to sport where the goal is as much about the people as it is the points.
Off the court, the lifestyle continues with yacht socials, bowling nights, brand collabs and international pop-ups that keep the spirit of the community alive. It’s no surprise the collective has drawn in celebrity fans like heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua, footballer Ryan Babel and Premier League forward Michail Antonio.
In a city known for its exclusivity, The Padel Mob is refreshingly open, inviting you to play, move and belong. With memberships now open and games running every Wednesday and Sunday, it’s fast becoming Dubai’s go-to way to plug in, on and off the court.
