As soon as Jack Binstead stepped onto the courts at Rocks Lane Padel, his passion for the sport ignited a spark within the team. Despite being a newcomer to padel, Jack's drive, ambition, and quick wit captivated everyone around him.

Reflecting on his first session, Jack vividly recalls the exhilarating sensation of connecting with the ball and propelling his wheelchair across the court.

Recognizing Jack's potential, Rocks Lane Padel embraced him into their player performance pathway, offering invaluable training time, coaching, and support for Jack and his team. Alongside established players, Jack embarks on a journey to represent England in adaptive padel, aiming to elevate his game to international standards.

Undeterred, Jack and his teammates have showcased their skills on a global stage, competing in tournaments from Dubai to Milan, garnering attention and admiration along the way.

Jack's sporting journey extends beyond padel; as a former Team GB athlete in wheelchair racing and snooker, he brings a wealth of experience and dedication to the court. His achievements in sports and acting roles, such as 'Rem Dogg' in BBC3's sitcom 'Bad Education,' underscore his multifaceted talents.

Eager to continue their momentum, the England Adaptive Padel Team seeks sponsors to support their upcoming tour and endeavors.
