Syosset's New Padel Club Is Priced for Four Players. Here's How to Fill the Court This Winter

Padel& Syosset charges by the court, and a court holds four players. At the listed nonmember rate of $220 an hour, two friends who show up looking for a game are paying $110 each. A full foursome pays $55 each. Nearly every other choice you make about the sport at 165 Eileen Way follows from that split. That includes the clinics, the membership, and what you pay compared with the indoor pickleball courts a few addresses away.

The club sits on the second floor of the Long Island Sports Hub. It has four indoor doubles courts under 25-foot ceilings, a pro shop that rents rackets, and locker rooms with a sauna and cold plunge. Long Island Business News reported in October 2025 that the club planned to open on November 15, 2025. In a Newsday report updated October 1, 2026, the club's head of operations, Sebastian Goercke, described a "soft launch five months ago." That points to roughly May 2026. The formal welcome comes next month. The Syosset Woodbury Jericho Chamber of Commerce has scheduled a ribbon-cutting at the club for Tuesday, November 3, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

What the court actually costs per player

Here are the club's listed rates, split across the people on court:

The club's page advertises 30 percent off bookings for members. On the posted court rates, $160 against $220, the discount works out to about 27 percent.

The nearest baseline is next door. At The Pickle Club on Michael Drive, a whole indoor pickleball court rents for $55 an hour. That is the same amount one padel player pays as part of a nonmember foursome. Pickleball open play there is $25 per person for two hours. Newsday's October 1 report lays out the national picture. Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the country by year-over-year percentage, up 14.5 percent over 2025 according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. Pickleball is still far larger, with roughly 24.3 million players against padel's 1.07 million. The price gap and the size gap point the same way. A padel hour on Eileen Way costs more per person, and there are fewer people around to share it with.

How a solo player finds a game

The club's page says you can "walk in anytime." With four courts, that line tells you about access, not about open court time. Booking runs through Playtomic, so check availability there before you drive over. Goercke explained to Newsday why the format pushes people toward groups:

"Players are always rotating and bringing in new customers because in padel, if it's just two people playing together, they need more people to get better. It grows exponentially from there."

That rotation is how a single player gets in. Here is the most direct route on the club's current schedule:

1. Take a clinic first. Over the next few days, Playtomic lists 60-minute Intro to Padel sessions and beginner and beginner-plus clinics for $75 each on Sunday, October 11, and Monday, October 12. That is $20 more than a nonmember's share of a full court, and the group is already put together for you.
2. Join the club's WhatsApp group. The Syosset page links a community chat for Padel& Syosset players.
3. Book the court once you have a foursome. At that point, the $55-per-person nonmember split above applies.

Coaching is offered at every level, including kids and junior training. The pages we reviewed did not post a junior schedule, junior pricing, or a racket rental fee, so ask about those at the desk. Private lessons are listed at $240 an hour for nonmembers and $180 for members. Semi-private lessons are $115 and $85. The hours differ between sources. The club's own site says 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., and the Playtomic schedule shows an 11 p.m. close.

When membership starts to make sense

Padel&'s membership page lists three tiers. Sales tax is added to each.

• Individual: $175 a month, with a $250 registration fee
• Couple: $300 a month, or $150 per person, with a $450 registration fee
• Family: $400 a month, with a $450 registration fee

Every tier includes discounted bookings, priority booking 14 days in advance, a members-only Adidas League, two guest passes at sign-up, and the option to pause for up to three months. Other terms allow those pauses in one-month increments with 15 days' notice.

At the listed rates, each court hour booked at the member price costs $60 less than the nonmember price. Three member bookings a month save $180, which more than covers the $175 individual fee before the registration charge. Two other perks matter more in a four-court building in January: the 14-day booking window and the members-only league. Both are ways of finding your foursome.

For comparison, Life Time Syosset at 350 Robbins Lane lists adult memberships starting at $358 a month, month to month, with pickleball as one of its amenities.

Eileen Way already had a racquet scene

Padel& is the newest racquet venue on a short list of Syosset streets that already had several:

• The Pickle Complex, 140 Eileen Way. It has seven pro-cushioned indoor courts with LED lighting and net barriers, seven PPR Certified Instructors, and clinics, open play and leagues.
• The Pickle Club Syosset, 300 Michael Drive. It has seven indoor courts at $55 per court hour, plus open play. Its sister location at 200 Robbins Lane in Jericho has three courts at $35 an hour, with open play from $10.
• SPORTIME Syosset, 75 Hasket Drive. It is open year-round with six indoor Har-Tru courts and five indoor hard courts, plus some court rental for nonmembers.

Tennis players have options a bit farther out. SPORTIME Bethpage, at 101 Norcross Avenue, has six indoor courts, two of which convert into four pickleball courts. The Bethpage State Park Tennis Center lists winter indoor rates of $35 an hour unreserved and $45 reserved. That means a reserved state-park tennis court for two costs $10 less than one padel nonmember's share of a full foursome on Eileen Way.

These neighbors help padel more than they compete with it. Goercke told Newsday that anyone who knows how to play racquet sports "can easily pick up padel." The club was built a short drive from courts full of people who already play with a paddle or a racquet.

Why this winter is the test

Roslyn Padel opened a four-court outdoor pop-up in the former skating rink at Christopher Morley Park on June 28, 2026. The Long Island Press reported that the courts would stay open through mid-October, weather permitting, and might return next summer. Its permanent 40,000-square-foot club, with 10 indoor courts and 34-foot ceilings, was expected to take about a year to build, targeting fall 2027. Roslyn's October schedule on Playtomic still lists a $25 Introduction to Padel class, which makes the next week or so the last cheap trial before its outdoor season ends.

On the South Shore, Pop's Padel opened five courts at the former Long Island Sports Complex in Freeport. The court rate there is $160 an hour, $240 for 90 minutes, and $300 for two hours. The club is at 103 Mill Road, with ceilings of 40 feet. Newsday also notes padel courts in Setauket, East Norwich and Hewlett Harbor, and at several Hamptons racquet clubs.

Once Roslyn's outdoor courts close for the season, its permanent indoor club is still about a year away, and Freeport is a South Shore drive. Goercke expects what he calls a snowball effect. In his words, "the more clubs that there are here, the more people will also go to other padel clubs." On a four-court floor this winter, that comes down to how many foursomes form at the $75 clinics and in the WhatsApp group. The November 3 ribbon-cutting is the next date on the club's calendar.

If you've lived around Syosset for a while, you know a new amenity shows up in daily routines well before it shows up in a listing. Nancy follows these changes street by street. If you're weighing what this part of Long Island offers, from the courts on Eileen Way to the blocks around them, Nancy Rosen would be glad to talk it through with you. Let's Connect.
