We observed that the padel 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 qualify the padel of this booming sport! Easier than tennis, it can reach a large 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, fell back to the padel, accessible outdoors. AT Tennissimo in Sprimont we even took the opportunity to build a suitable roof in 2020. If the padel is still prohibited indoors, here you can still play, and 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 clubs of padel and given the success, many of them are already sold out! Another region in the French-speaking part of the country enjoys strong development: in Nivelles, as in all of Walloon Brabant, the padel arouses 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 Toulouse, it's possible! Passionate about NBA and Biathlon, I am also a drug addict padel. I organize tournaments, I teach. But what I like best about padel : these are the short crossed passings. What good croquettes !!
