About S3 Padel Derby
S3 Padel Derby, operated by Social Sports Society, opened in October 2025 as the company’s first venue outside London. The sprawling 55,000 sq ft facility in Derbion shopping centre combines premium padel courts with co-working, fitness, food, and social spaces, making it a genuine community sports hub.
The courts
Ten indoor courts with panoramic glass walls and professional-grade synthetic surfaces deliver a consistent playing environment. The modern design and floodlighting mean players can enjoy matches at any time of day. Courts are suitable for casual drop-in play, league matches, and coaching-led development sessions.

Membership options include Players Pass (£7.50 per month with 15-day booking window), Unlimited Off-Peak (£20 per month), and All Access (£45 per month with unlimited off-peak play and 15% peak-time discount).
Derbion’s 2,700+ parking spaces make access convenient from anywhere in the city.
