We have observed that padel has continued its development in Europe despite the health crisis. This is particularly the case in Belgium.

We notice,  in Belgium , a  30% increase in the number of members each year , we can call padel a sport that is booming! Easier than tennis, it allows you to reach a wide audience, and it can quickly become an addiction.

Despite the restrictions linked to the health crisis,  this growth has not slowed down , especially because Many athletes who could no longer practice their activity have turned to padel, accessible outdoors. AT  Tennissimo in Sprimont  We even took the opportunity to build a suitable roof in 2020. Although padel is still prohibited indoors, you can still play here, in all weathers, thanks to this semi-indoor structure which covers but does not completely enclose the players.

Another development due to the covid virus, all reservations are made via the web or the Tennissimo club app.

 

 

In the province of Liège, there are 15 padel clubs and given the success encountered, many of them are already full! Another region in the French-speaking part of the country is benefiting from strong development: in Nivelles, as in all of Walloon Brabant, padel is arousing real enthusiasm.

In the facilities of the tennis club the Smashing Club Nivellois, a temporary field has been installed and demand is high.

It must be said that in addition to the attraction of novelty, this sport is played with four people and outdoors. This allows you to play sports with friends while respecting current health rules!

Belgian and from Toulouse, it's possible! Passionate about NBA and Biathlon, I'm also a padel addict. I organize tournaments, I give lessons. But what I prefer in padel: it's the short crossed passing shots. Good croquettes what !!
