Membership
What it costs.
Where it goes.
Cobras isn't run to make anyone a profit. Every rand collected goes back into the club — and members get regular financial summaries to prove it.
Once-off joining fee
R1,000 / player
Includes your official Cobras welcome kit:
- 2 × official Cobras team shirts
- 1 × Cobras cap
- 1 × Cobras keyring
- A small contribution to the club buffer
Monthly membership
R220 / player
Seven line items. One monthly debit. Zero mystery — see the full breakdown below.
Court costs: Joining and monthly fees don't cover court time for ladder matches — that's split 50/50 between challenger and challenged team per match.

Not for profit
Every rand stays in the club
Cobras Padel Club is not run to generate a profit. Any money left after monthly expenses stays in the club — it's reinvested into coaching, events, tours, kit and future member benefits. Members receive periodic financial summaries showing income, expenditure and the club's balance.
How payment works
Apply here. Pay in the app.
The 'Join the Cobras' form on this site is the application, not the payment step — no card details are collected here. Once an admin approves your application, payment moves to the app: the R1,000 joining fee and the R220/month recurring subscription both happen there.
No card details on this site. Ever.
