ABU DHABI, UAE, 12 March 2o24 – ACTIVE Al Maryah Island is proud to announce the opening of the first Gaby Reca Padel Academy branch in Abu Dhabi. One of the region’s premier sports and recreational destinations, Al Maryah Island will now offer three outdoor and four indoor courts for padel enthusiasts.
Led by former No.1 and five-time World Champion padel player-turned-coach Gaby Reca, the academy offers proven coaching methods for children aged four through to adults. With over a dozen players on the World Padel Tour under his system, Gaby's mastery of talent development will help budding players in Abu Dhabi reach their maximum potential in the sport.
In addition to group and private lessons for all ages, social groups, workshops, and tournaments will ensure the rapidly-growing sport flourishes. Weekly social nights present an opportunity to meet like-minded players in a fun environment. Skill-based competitions will offer the chance to win valuable prizes, and clinics focused on a specific technique or tactic will hone players’ game.
Ladies Padel in Abu Dhabi will get a boost on the covered courts, supported by a female coach on Al Maryah Island’s only private courts.
Padel sessions with Gaby Reca Padel Academy are offered alongside a wide variety of sports and activities happening at ACTIVE Al Maryah Island. Covering more than 90,000 sqm, the property features professional-grade sports surfaces, including natural and 2* FieldTurf football pitches, ATP-certified tennis courts, and multipurpose courts for basketball, volleyball, and netball.
It is also home to the ACTIVE Dome, the region's only full-sized indoor football pitch, and F45, a global fitness community offering high-intensity group workouts, is also on the roster of exciting activities available onsite. To refuel, delicious options, including Home Bakery and Sopranos, serve drinks and snacks.
This exclusive tie-up with Abu Dhabi Entertainment Company has brought the Gaby Reca Padel Academy to Abu Dhabi. Through the agreement, several new academies will be opening in the capital at properties managed by the company, including Zayed Sports City, as well as partner facilities.
