Padel Pavilion

Padel Pavilion sits inside Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Industrial Area 5, Sharjah, just off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and the Al Dhaid Road (E88). The venue is operated by SBA, the Sharjah Badminton Academy.

For padel pavilion padel in Sharjah, you arrive at a purpose-built indoor pavilion with two glass-back courts, generous spectator seating and free on-site parking, sharing grounds with cricket nets, a swimming academy and a gym.

The pavilion is doubles-only and aimed at recreational players, juniors and improvers who want a covered, climate-friendly alternative to outdoor courts in the Sharjah summer heat. Booking runs through Playtomic, with live slot availability, hourly bookings and prepaid coaching packs visible in the same app and on the SBA Padel website.

The padel courts

Padel Pavilion has two indoor double courts, both panoramic with high-raised glass back walls for full visibility from the seating areas. The surface is WPT-approved Supermondo XN synthetic turf, the same monofilament fibre used on World Padel Tour stops, which gives a consistent bounce and softer landing than older sand-heavy mats.

Both courts sit under a permanent indoor roof with LED lighting tuned for evening play, so conditions stay identical from the 08:00 first slot through to the midnight close. Spectator seating runs alongside each court, useful for juniors waiting on the next session, parents watching coaching, or social groups rotating four-on-four.

Booking and access for padel

Courts are bookable on Playtomic at playtomic.com/clubs/padel-pavilion, with 60 and 90 minute slots from 08:00 to 00:00 every day of the week, including public holidays. Live rates show on Playtomic at the booking step and the same slots are available through the SBA Padel website.

The venue is pay-and-play - no membership required - and equipment hire is available on site for visitors travelling without a racket. Free parking is provided across the Sharjah Cricket Stadium car park, with disabled access into the pavilion and lockable changing rooms with lockers and showers behind the courts.

For phone bookings, group bookings or coaching enquiries, call +971 56 688 8443 or email info@sbapadel.com. The reception desk operates during court opening hours and can confirm slot availability when Playtomic shows full sessions.

Padel programme and social

Padel Pavilion runs a structured coaching ladder through SBA Padel covering senior, junior and one-on-one sessions. A signature prepaid pack of five 60 minute lessons for a pair of players is published at AED 1,850, with private and group rates available on request through the academy. See the coaching tab on this listing for full tier breakdowns and inclusions.

The pavilion shares its calendar with the wider SBA academy, so periodic mixers, junior camps and intra-club friendlies run during school holidays and weekend mornings. Players are pointed to the venue Instagram and Facebook pages for upcoming socials, tournament entries and ladies sessions, which are scheduled around school and academy timetables.

An on-site cafeteria handles post-match drinks and light food, and free WiFi covers the courtside seating for players working between sessions. Equipment rental, including rackets and balls, can be added at the booking step or paid for at reception.

Best for

Padel Pavilion suits Sharjah-based recreational players who want a climate-controlled indoor venue close to the city centre, juniors progressing through the SBA Padel academy, and visiting players staying near the cricket stadium who need a quick pay-and-play option. Late evening slots up to midnight make it a practical choice after work and during Ramadan timings.

It is less suited to singles-only players, since both courts are doubles spec, and to players hunting four or more courts for a full club-night format - that scale is better served by larger Dubai venues. Tournament organisers running multi-court draws should expect to combine Padel Pavilion with another Sharjah club for any bracket larger than eight teams.

SBA Padel runs in-house coaching at Padel Pavilion across senior, junior and one-on-one tiers, with private and small-group sessions and a published prepaid pack for pairs.
