No official national governing body for padel has been established yet. As the sport grows, it will likely form a federation to standardise rules, competitions, and court development. In the meantime, players can follow international bodies like the International Padel Federation for updates.

How do padel prices in New Zealand compare with Australia?TrustPadel

Since there are no operational venues in New Zealand yet, pricing has not been set. However, based on Australian rates and New Zealand's general cost of living, you can expect court hire to start around £15–£25 per hour. Once the first venues open, prices will become clearer.

Are padel courts in New Zealand indoor or outdoor?TrustPadel

The indoor versus outdoor split is undetermined because no courts exist yet. New Zealand's temperate climate supports both options, so future facilities will likely offer a combination, with outdoor courts in summer and covered or indoor courts for the cooler months.
