Former England captain Beckham has taken part in a video playing padel tennis, the sport that is expanding at a rapid rate in the UK and around the world.
Some of the biggest names in world sport are embracing padel tennis and there is huge momentum behind a sport that has been described as a cross between tennis and squash, played on a court surrounded by a heavy-duty glass that allows players to hit the ball after it bounces back off the wall.
“It’s a sport that I got hooked on very suddenly. I train and have fun at the same time, and doing it in a place like this is fantastic,” the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player told the official Premier Padel channels, among others.
“You can play at any level, whether you’re a child or an adult. It’s growing a lot, even within the clubs I already know many friends and former teammates who are hooked and that’s incredible.”
