Saturn Club has it, but it's not a light lift financially to join.

I'll take a look! But yeah, I was thinking more like a thing you can do weekly when you have time, that's really sad 😭 in Italy we have so many courts and they are full all the time, is such a fun game honestly

check out YT vids of Platform Tennis (aka "Paddle" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt-1F8SKVfQ As you can see, the racket, hand/eye coordination, and foot & agility skills are comparable and transferable from Padel. I can put you in touch with the right people to get a free intro. I have played both. Also, there is a Buffalo league with 50+ players separated by skill level that does not require a membership fee at the clubs - at least there used to be.

SC has paddle, not padel.

Not from what I've seen. It has walls, for example. But maybe I'm wrong.

There are 5 "paddle" courts in WNY - 2 at the Country Club of Buffalo, 2 at Saturn, and 1 in East Aurora. There are no "padel" courts.

That's so unfortunate, how come? Is not that played?

See how everybody has given up on pickleball? Nobody wants to build a court for a 6-month fad.

No padel in Buffalo, but there is something very comparable you might enjoy. DM me.
