PADEL IS THE NEW BLACK
One of the world's fastest growing sports – and for good reason. Padel is easy to get started with, but hard to master. If you don't already know Padel, it's time. Courts are popping up all over Denmark right now, and active players are increasing day by day. Basically, padel can be described as a mix of tennis and squash. It is most often played two against two with a tennis ball on a court measuring 10×20 meters, where there are walls on all sides. As a racket, you have a padel that is not strung, which makes the game slower and less technical. It is easier to hit the ball correctly, so to speak.
Where are we playing?
We play in the city's state-of-the-art padel center (Padel Nord). There are six double courts and one single court. It is also built with a ten-meter ceiling as required by the rules and an internationally approved center court.
It is also possible to use the tennis club's two outdoor courts in your free time. These can be booked free of charge through our membership. The courts are located approx. 200 meters from NIH.
The subject has an additional payment of DKK 1.000.
Tennis
With tennis as a subject at the college, you can enjoy that lovely sound when you hit the tennis ball perfectly.

Anja, who teaches, takes your level as a starting point. This means that you can join in, even if you have never tried volleyball before.
In addition to teamwork, physics, mentality, tactics and psychology are important aspects in volleyball. Here we, among other things, go in and work with the periods when the game does not work, when the mood is at its lowest and the opposing team is running away. How do you tackle this? How do you as a team turn the game to your advantage again? What can you do? This is precisely where teamwork means so much.
