Padel Ladder — Free Rankings & Challenges
Challenge. Compete. Climb.
Padel is booming in New York and UpLaddr makes it easy to find your next match. Join a local padel ladder, challenge nearby players, and see how you stack up against the competition. From beginners to advanced — everyone's welcome.
Padel is an emerging sport in the NYC area. Reserve Padel Hudson Yards is Manhattan's first padel club (3 outdoor glass-enclosed courts, members-only). Brooklyn has more supply: Padel Haus operates locations in Williamsburg, DUMBO, and Greenpoint. Note: padel is not the same as paddle tennis or pickleball — it's played on an enclosed glass court with solid paddles.
Why New York players use ladders
- Padel is doubles-only, so finding 3 other players at your level in New York is hard
- Club bookings are expensive if your partner cancels last minute
- No way to track your level or find evenly matched opponents
UpLaddr fixes this: recurring opponents at your level, live rankings that track every match, and flexible scheduling that fits your life.
