Franck Binisti - How did you get started in padel  ?

David Vincent - The idea of padel in this club of which I was a member of the office came to me one morning.

Why not propose a new project to the Aix Country Club which already had the will to create padel on this magnificent site where the headquarters of the Provence league is located?

It was necessary to convince the various managers of the club to put these padel. They trusted us and from May 7 the Country Club Aixois will offer an additional activity: the padel.

 

FB - You started your squawcreek companypadels. It is based on a particular model ...

DV - The Squaw Creek Company Model Padels is original: More than a new padel, it is about a new concept, where the tennis clubs do not invest a single euro, but in addition recover a new source of income for the clubs.

Basically the Squaw Creek company Padels invests all costs related to the installation of padel and in return offers the club to share the revenue related to the padel.

This means that the club that hosts the padel collect 2 sources of income. First of all, income related to the rental of land, but also income related to the use of land.

 

FB - How does it work to play the club? 

DV - Trade policy will be unveiled on June 22. Without giving too much away, I can say that there will be 2 possibilities for a person to play and subscribe to the club of padel :

1 / If you are already a member of the Aix Country Club, there will be an attractive formula to play padel.

2 / No worries if the player is not a member of the club since he can directly subscribe to the Country Club Padel.

In the meantime, we want to introduce the padel, the club and create a group of enthusiasts. This is the reason why we invite interested players to join the Country Club Community. Padel. By registering on our site, members of this community will be able to come and play for FREE for the next 8 weeks.

Tristan Barre will be the site manager. It will offer training padel, courses and activities as soon as the site opens.

If the club works as well as expected, 2 other fields could emerge soon.

The visibility of this club padel is huge first because it is the Aix Country Club which is one of the most popular tennis clubs in the region, then because it hosts an international tennis competition every year: the Challenger Open from the Pays d'Aix.

The inauguration of the center will take place on 7 May at 11h during the semifinals of the international tennis tournament.

 

FB - Can this type of model work without being on site?

DV - We think so with regard to the management of reservations, collections and access. But there will always be someone on site totally dedicated to running and managing the club. In Country, Tristan Barre is a perfect manager. He will be able to boost activity there padel. The Country Club Aixois already relies on a huge pool of tennis players who are just waiting to play padel. Other tennis clubs that do not necessarily have the means to invest in the padel can embark on the adventure padel by limiting the risks and lack of cash. Squaw creek Padels really has the will to develop the padel and to democratize it as much as possible.
