"The Padel a sport that will develop more and more ”

A successful evening and therefore watered ... With its 2 fields of padel indoor, Le Soccer Park - Le Five de Rouen thus joins the closed club of padel of the region. It is also Madam Minister and current Member of Parliament who tells us precisely that she had “already tested several times at padel in the club of Isneauville (Padel arena)and we feltthat this sport had a bright future".

Guillaume Debelmas, one of the founders of the Five Park Soccer Park, bid by explaining that "IOriginally, Soccer Park Le Five intended to accelerate the development of padel in its structures by offering more land padel in its centers".

With these 2 fields of padel indoor, the center hopes to be able to show that it "  there is room for some padel in football centers " even if "for the moment, the padel has not yet taken precedence over 5-a-side football".

Yvon Robert, the Mayor of Rouen confirms the development of this sport in the region since he observes that "le padel is a sport whose demand is growing with projects trying to see the light of day in Rouen".

Soccer Park - The Five: Unity is strength

For several months, Le Five and Soccer Park have merged to give birth to a juggernaut of 5-a-side football. But not only. It is today the first network of padel in France with soon 9 centers.

At least 3 new centers in 2017

Today, Soccer Park is proud to announce that at least 3 centers of padel should open this year, with certainly a center offering 4 padel.

The FFT is good for padel and vice versa

The former Minister of Sports views the integration of the padel in the French Tennis Federation. She believes that “sport deserved to be accompanied by a large federation and that there are obvious synergies between these two sports".

Soccer Park moderates the general euphoria because according to center officials: " Football is a safe bet. We are experts in setting up these structures. At padel a little less and suddenly, we are trying to develop our offer. What is certain is that the centers need to offer other sports and the padel perfectly complements our offer ».

« We are going to try to develop centers which will offer in the future 4 pitches of padel. Today our centers offer 1 or 2 courts. But we think we're on a very positive slope »

« If we still have to see how the French Tennis Federation will behave with the padel, we have already seen for a little while a general atmosphere around this very positive sport. I therefore hope that our authorities will take the right decisions. But we don't doubt it ».
