Sunday Racquet & Social Club introduces a new way to spend evenings in Goa, blending sport with community and leisure. Built on an elevated property with three padel courts and one pickleball court, the club’s amphitheatre-style design allows visitors to watch games from viewing decks while socialising. Alongside professional courts, the space features a café stocked with local products, a pro shop with international-grade equipment, and coaching programs for beginners and juniors.
Goa has a new way to spend your evenings, and surprisingly, it’s not at a restaurant or a bar, but at a racquet club. Sunday Racquet & Social Club is designed as a place to unwind through sport, play, and community. The space aims to feel like a “home away from home”, infusing everyday life with the same sense of childlike playfulness, joy, and comfort often associated with a slow Sunday.
At the heart of the club are three padel courts and one pickleball court, all built on an elevated property that shapes the venue’s layout. The design creates an amphitheatre-like atmosphere, allowing the space to feel like a shared community arena where those seated on the viewing decks can catch glimpses of games unfolding across all four courts. Beyond the courts, the club also houses an in-house café where players can refuel and unwind after a match. Stocked with products from local businesses, the café serves as the perfect post-game pick-me-up.
For newcomers who need equipment, the club also features a pro shop stocked with state-of-the-art gear used by professional players from around the world. And if you’re entirely new to the sport, Sunday Racquet & Social Club has that covered as well, with weekly coaching classes for both adults and juniors designed to ensure that everyone has a space to learn and grow without intimidation.
A testament to the space’s quality came just three days after its opening, when the Sunday Racquet & Social Club hosted Goa’s first Indian Padel Tour tournament. The club is also set to host multiple tournaments in the coming months, establishing itself as one of India’s most exciting new destinations for padel.
Sunday Racquet & Social Club wants to transcend being just a court to play at. Instead, it aims to become a space where people gather, connect, and enjoy something together as a community. By going beyond just the sport itself, Sunday Club creates an environment where games become the medium through which people get together, and spend time beyond just the court. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee after a game or unwinding on one of their viewing decks, the Sunday Club is built on the foundation of interaction and slowing down.
