Two outdoor courts, added to the grounds of Tennisclub Kartause 1974 in Düsseldorf's north. It is a tennis venue that took up padel rather than a padel venue, and the booking rules read accordingly: reservations run only through the venue's eBuSy portal, courts open seven days ahead, and two consecutive hours can now be booked in one go.
The rule that matters is this one — you cannot reserve without naming all four players, and anyone who isn't a member must be entered as "Gast" and paid for by PayPal at the moment of booking. Guests can also only book a members-free match from 72 hours out. Prices are per person per hour: €8 for guests off-peak and €10 in prime time, €6 and €8 for members, with prime time running Monday to Friday from 16:30 and from 11:00 at weekends.
Getting there
The Franz-Rennefeld-Weg is in Unterrath, a few minutes from 4Padel Düsseldorf — so if two courts are gone, ten indoor ones are around the corner.
Running a session here
Padel Arena Düsseldorf has 2 courts, and a 60-minute booking is the slot to plan around. That fixes almost everything else about the evening.
- Bring 8 to 10 players. 8 is everyone on court every round; past that you are running a sit-out queue, which is fine but somebody has to track it.
- Expect about 6 rounds once you take out warm-up and changeovers — play each to 21 points so every court finishes together and the scores stay comparable.
- At 10 players, 2 people sit out each round. 2 courts tops out at 10 players before the sit-out queue is longer than the court time.
Formats that fit
- Americano a full rotation at 8 players is 7 rounds and the booking holds 6, so you play a slice of it. Fine for an evening, but the standings are a snapshot rather than a complete table.
- Mexicano re-pairs by the standings each round, so the games stay close. 6 rounds is enough for the table to mean something.
- King of the Court winners move up a court, losers move down. Works from 4 rounds on 2 courts.
| Courts | Everyone plays | Up to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 5 |
| 2 | 8 | 10 |
Two courts is eight players, and eight is the size where a full Americano actually completes: seven rounds, which one hour covers at 16 points. Agree the target before the first serve and everyone leaves with a finished table.
The four-names rule is the real planning constraint, and it is the one thing here worth organising around. You need every player confirmed before you can hold the court, not after — so settle the list first and book second. A match page with names on it is exactly what that portal is asking you to paste in.
Because the price is per person, dropouts cost the group nothing structurally but the booking becomes wrong: the names on the reservation are supposed to be the people on court. Replace a name rather than leaving a stranger on someone else's booking.
