Who we are

Our social sports mission

We are Social Sports Society: a London-based startup uniting communities through the love of, well, social sport. 

We come from a mix of disciplines: not only fitness, but architecture, property, project management, social impact, journalism, hospitality. There’s even a Team GB athlete on the team. We combine our expertise to bring a fresh approach to the sports industry. 

Our mission is to transform unloved land into fitness hubs. We’re opening multisports venues around the country, leading with our anchor sport, padel.

Community through activity

To some, it’s social impact. To us, it’s at the core of who we are. We create melting pots by bringing communities together through sports – bridging a wide range of demographics. With our model, we can provide free sports to kids and families that are unable to afford it, as well as education and jobs for local youth & youth at risk.

Through our padel program alone, we are aiming to provide 600 kids with a free hour of padel for every court we build. In a 10 court centre this would be 6000 hours of free play for kids. 

We can improve sports participation while strengthening the local society.
