Nick Rivett Sport

Situated on Church Road in Hove, Nick Rivett Sport serves as a central hub for Brighton and Hove's growing padel scene. Established as an independent specialist, the store bridges the gap between premium technical equipment and the active local playing community. Players visit to test the latest padel rackets through a comprehensive demo programme before committing to a purchase, ensuring the balance, weight, and surface texture match their individual playing style. The team provides honest, technical guidance on everything from core density to court-specific footwear suited for sandy or textured artificial turf. Beyond equipment, Nick Rivett Sport maintains strong links with local courts and coaches across Sussex, helping players find match sessions, competitive leagues, and clinics. Whether you need your racket re-gripped before an evening league match or seek advice on progressing your tactical game, the venue offers a practical, player-first environment backed by genuine sporting knowledge.
