Strike Padel Opens as Bradford’s First Indoor Padel Centre

"As a local dentist, I see the effects of poor general health first-hand. Bradford has one of the highest rates of cardiovascular disease alongside a high prevalence of diabetes in the UK," said Dr Mohammed Usman, co-founder of Strike Padel. "Padel tennis is fun, fast-paced, and accessible to people of all fitness levels. It encourages movement, teamwork, and friendly competition - all crucial ingredients for a healthier lifestyle." Strike Padel opened at Beckside Business Park, Lidget Green, in late July as Bradford's first dedicated indoor padel centre. Founded by clinical practitioners Fahad Qureshi and Mohammed Rashad, alongside dentist Dr Mohammed Usman, the five-court facility offers coaching sessions, a café serving refreshments including matcha, and regular women-only session times. The centre was created to promote healthier lifestyles in Bradford through the world's fastest-growing sport.
