Hi Strava Team,
I’ve been wondering for a while now why it’s still not possible to add padel as an activity type on Strava, especially now in 2026.
Padel has grown massively around the world and continues to attract more and more players every year. It has become one of the most popular and fastest-growing sports, and many people actively use Strava to track their sports activities. Because of this, it feels like a natural fit for the platform.
At the moment, padel players have to select alternative activity types, which doesn’t accurately reflect the sport. It would be great to have padel available as its own category, so we can properly track sessions, monitor progress, and share activities with others in the community.
Could you please share if there’s a specific reason why padel hasn’t been added yet? And would it be possible to bring this request to the attention of the development team again? I’m sure many users would appreciate this addition, and it would align well with how quickly the sport is growing.
Thanks in advance for your time, and I hope this is something that can be considered in the future.
