"My son absolutely loves it. Lightweight, comfortable, and it’s helped him improve so fast!"
GP Junior | Junior Starter Racket | Golden Padel
Balls are not included.
Your child's first padel racket should make them want to play again tomorrow.
The GP Junior is made for kids aged 7 to 12 who are stepping onto a padel court for the first time. It's light enough that they can swing it properly, sized so it actually fits their grip, and forgiving enough that they'll make contact and feel good about it from the first session.
Why kids get on well with it:
At 310g it's light enough for younger players to swing without strain, so they build technique naturally rather than muscling the ball.
The round head and soft EVA foam core mean off-centre hits still go over the net, which keeps sessions fun rather than frustrating.
Junior sizing means the grip and length are proportioned for smaller hands, not just a scaled-down adult racket.
Who it's for:
Boys and girls aged 7 to 12 playing padel for the first time, whether at school, a club, or with family. Also a brilliant gift for a child who's shown interest in the sport.

PRODUCT DNA
Why We Created the GP Junior
Golden Padel built the GP Junior to give young padel players access to a racket that actually fits their game. We were tired of seeing kids struggle with adult rackets or cheap alternatives that let them down.
Every GP Junior is designed in the UK and built with the same quality materials and care you'd find in premium junior equipment but at a fair price.
The GP Junior came from months of feedback with junior players, padel coaches, and families. It's built to help kids enjoy padel, improve quickly, and play with real confidence.
If Your Child Struggles With Control or Confidence... It's Probably Their Racket
Most junior rackets are either too heavy, too stiff, or just cheap knockoffs. They frustrate young players, make learning harder, and kill their confidence on court.
The GP Junior fixes that:
✔ Lightweight design → easy to swing and control
✔ Forgiving sweet spot → more consistent hits
✔ Responsive feel → helps kids develop proper technique
✔ Fun colours → kids actually want to play with it
✔ Quality build → lasts through growing pains and hard play
