At Pikup Padel, we are committed to ensuring our club and website are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe padel should be open, welcoming, and enjoyable for all members of our community.

​

Website Accessibility

Our website www.pikuppadel.co.uk has been adapted in line with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines to improve usability and accessibility. Efforts include:

• Clear heading structures across all pages

• Alternative text for images

• High-contrast colour combinations for readability

• Logical page order for screen readers

• Reduced use of motion/animation where possible

• Accessible forms and buttons

• Compatibility with assistive technologies such as keyboard navigation and screen readers

​

Some areas of our site may include third-party integrations (such as Playtomic for bookings), which may not fully meet the same accessibility standards.

Club Accessibility

​

At our physical facilities at 17B Follingsby Lane, Gateshead, we are working to provide a welcoming and accessible environment for all players and visitors. Current arrangements include:

• Step-free access to courts and clubhouse areas

• Accessible restrooms on site

• Designated parking close to entrances

• Staff available to assist when needed

We are continually reviewing and improving both our digital and physical spaces to make padel accessible for everyone.
