PADEL-POWER TO THE PEOPLE: LIDL TAPS INTO PADEL TREND WITH RACKET SPORTS RANGE

Padel is officially making a racket, with 8 million Brits now showing interest in the nation’s fastest growing sport that’s seen a 121% increase in players since 2023 and nearly 900 courts converted across the nation thanks to huge investments.* Now, Lidl is matching the trend, putting the hot in drop shot with its new racket sport range starting from £1.99, making the game affordable to total beginners and padel-pros alike.

Whilst equipment prices can sky-racket up to £250, Lidl has you set with a complete starter pack including the Padel Racket, Ballsand Carry Bag for just £14.99! This sleek racket returns ace-quality performance at a great price with its soft grip handle and lightweight design for enhanced comfort and consistent performance.

Fancy a classic court game? Rally your crew with a Badminton Set (£17.99) from the Middle of Lidl which serves up fun for four. Complete with rackets, shuttlecocks, a full-size net and a handy carry bag – all for under £20! Even great players lose a ball or two on the court, so Lidl has customers covered with assorted packs of tennis balls, padel balls and shuttlecocks from just £1.99 to keep the game going.

If you are more of a kicker than a racket-swinger, Lidl’s Hy-Pro Size 5 Reflex Footballs (£7.99) are perfect for sharpening your keepy-uppys ahead of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, sponsored by Lidl. Find out more about this partnership here.
