Amazeballs Charity Padel Tournament

Cape Town’s sport and entertainment scene is set to collide with purpose-driven impact at the Amazeballs Charity Padel Tournament taking place on Saturday, April 12, at the launch of the much-anticipated Padel Story, Oakdale Courts in Durbanville. Entrance is free and Capetonians can expect a fun and active family day out with celebrity padel match-ups, live music, activations and incredible prizes up for grabs. This high-energy event promises a morning of padel for a purpose, all in support of local sustainability and youth upliftment initiatives.

Proceeds will benefit both the Amazeballs NPO, a local initiative turning used padel and tennis balls into functional furniture and art, as well as the Bounce Back Initiative, which promotes sustainable design by equipping emerging artists with the skills to incorporate upcycled materials into their creative processes.
