Bernard Giudicelli returns to the position of the FFT for the associated disciplines, namely the padel, beach tennis and tennis. The scientific college logically influenced the decision of the FFT.
Le padel will not be authorized in phase 1 because “the absence of risk of contamination is not guaranteed”:
PADEL
----
Le Padel is traditionally played in doubles and it is impossible to guarantee in the game the physical distance of 2 meters between two partners.
Even in the event of a move towards singles, hand and / or body contact with the panes and grilles will be frequent. However, these surfaces can be contaminated at the points of impact of the opponent's bullets. The absence of risk of contamination is therefore not guaranteed.
BEACH TENNIS
--------
This sport is practiced in double which does not allow the respect of the measures of distancing.
In the case of practice in singles, physical exertion, the numerous contacts of the body, hands and sometimes the face with the sand, as well as the risk of projections of droplets of salivary secretion, nasal or throat on the sand also make the unthinkable beach tennis in phase 1.SHORT PALM GAME
------------
The short palm game is only played in indoor rooms. Government measures to resume sports activities only allow individual outdoor disciplines in phase 1.Under these conditions, for liability, the COMEX followed the recommendation of the scientific college NOT to authorize the practice of these disciplines in phase 1

Franck Binisti discovers the padel at the Club des Pyramides in 2009 in the Paris region. Since padel is part of his life. You often see him touring France going to cover the major events of padel French.
From Michel Laborie
Hello,
Poor Mr. Bernard Giudicelli Ferrandini, it is with analyzes like yours that our current society is in distress.
We must adapt our padel to deconfinement.
May have played very well at padel without touching the ball with your hands. It is enough to play with a single ball, and to collect it with the racket and the ankle as one does from time to time in tennis. Have it changed regularly.
As soon as his partner approaches too much, he voluntarily departs.
If you have touched a window, the mesh or the net with a hand, you will find a mop soaked in a disinfectant.
The players change T-Shirt several times.
If they were afraid of making matches, at that time there was training with exercises that do not involve bringing the players together.
Have can wear a mask.
These are many constraints (there are others) that the padel deserved.
Clubs and teachers must be able to work again.
Take care of your tennis that you put in distress long before this confinement, and leave the clubs of padel, the players, the students adapt to this new situation. They will come up with much better ideas than yours.
Hello, I am 100% with you. I am a modest player who plays in Spain. The policies are relatively similar…. it is time for our politicians to follow the example of our Nordic neighbours!
Another one who is stricken with acute paranoia. You take public transport, you go to the supermarkets, but above all you must not play one against one at padel, while you are outside and separated by more than 10 meters. To have people of this level of nonsense in the most important places of a federation is distressing. It would have been better to say nothing rather than invoke such a bogus explanation. If you touch the ice, where the ball would have bounced, you have a good chance of catching covid 19. Hey, village idiot. If you have a glove that protects your hand that does not hold the racket and you use new balls and you make sure you do not throw yourself against the windows, because you are a reasonable being and not a fool like he you have to be to be president of the FFT, I don't see how you're going to catch the virus. Frankly, he is a good reflection of our government. Another incompetent who forgets his brain at home when he makes an appearance at his office. Poor France.
Hello
in my humble opinion (but I still specify that I am a scientist), we are in science fiction here.
In the case of padel in singles, outdoors, without changing ends, it's exactly the same risk as in tennis, period.
