Game4padel Tour - Thistle Christmas Grade 3

Game4padel is hosting the Game4padel Tour - Thistle Christmas Grade 3 on Sunday 27 December, a day of competitive padel in the heart of Edinburgh. It's part of the wider Game4padel Tour, and this particular stop is a Grade 3 event, so it's aimed at players who've got a decent handle on the game and are looking for a proper match-day rather than just a casual hit.

The day is split into two separate draws. The Women's Doubles Grade 3 gets things moving in the morning, starting around 09:00, and the Men's Doubles Grade 3 takes over in the afternoon, starting around 13:00. If you're playing in both, you've got a full day of it ahead of you; if you're only in one, you can either come early to watch or head in later when the men's draw kicks off.

It's all happening at G4P - Thistle Padel Club, over in the Edinburgh & Lothians area at EH12 9DT. If you're not familiar with the spot, it's a dedicated padel facility, so you'll be playing on proper courts with the right surroundings rather than a makeshift setup. Coming in late December, it's a good way to keep the momentum going between the Christmas and New Year break.

Entry is £28 per player for the Women's Doubles Grade 3, and the Men's Doubles Grade 3 is slightly cheaper at £27.50 per player. With the women starting around 09:00 and the men around 13:00, it's a long day of padel from start to finish.
