Le  BIG PADEL Bordeaux  is entering its 3rd year. The co-founder,  Antoine Couvercelle  returns to this adventure which could take it even further with an enlargement “of the house”.

  •  Already 3 years… 

Absolutely and we left to have a good time here. But we even hope to be able to expand if the authorizations follow. We are therefore entering this 3rd year with great optimism.

For more than 3 years, the figures have been on the rise. But we can see a serious increase in activity since the start of the school year in September. We can really say that padel is starting to  pass a milestone in terms of notoriety  in the towns.

We note a significant increase in attendance. For example,  block our land 2 weeks ahead of peak hours .

Another sign of the increase in attendance is the opening at 9:15 am on weekdays  instead of 10h to create one more game.

  •  The greatest victory? 

The spirit of the club that we have at Big. The quality of the infrastructure means that we have a club that works very well.

It is a victory to see that there is  of the world all day . Obviously, there are slack periods but they are less marked than before. The club is on the rise.

Players enjoy coming to us. BIG PADEL has even become a second home for some.

  •  The surprise ? 

We have 5 outdoor courts and 2 indoor courts. Among the 5 indoor, we have a single. And I remember that when we started, some people kindly made fun of this single.

Except that in reality, the single has an occupancy rate equivalent to classic padel courts. When there are only 2 of you, it's good to play, train and have fun.

And then we are also very happy to see that it is growing among young padel players. Our padel school works very well with  younger and younger players .

  •  The Extension Project 

We go  add 2 padel courts  as an extension of the 2 current outdoor fields and we  will cover all 4 .

We want to do it to meet the very large demand at Big. If it is a serious project, there are still a few steps before announcing it with great fanfare.

  •  At the padel event level…
     

On June 13th and 14th, we invite all padel fans and players to come to this great club party. A whole weekend of padel with a P500 on the menu.

As every year, we will offer a  P1000 at the end of the year . It will be the BIG PADEL MASTER, normally on December 5 and 6.

We will try to bring  Arnaud Clement  who had had a great trip with  Arnaud Di Pasquale .

And then in April, we will offer a somewhat special P250 since there will be a  POKER animation  with our partner Winamax. Block on April 25 and 26.
