The number of licensees in France continues to grow. Few sports can boast of having such a figure, even if we are still far from the tennis figures, we observe a significant increase in the number of licensees padel.

The other important element: The padel is a recreational sport. This means that we should not assume that if there are 6900 licensees, there are no other players.

In France, as in Spain, the practitioners are mostly recreational players and therefore do not necessarily fire.

To go back to the numbers, in January 2019, we were at 5755 licensed. In July 2019: 6926 licensed. An increase of 20.35% in 6 months of the number of licensees.

In April 2019, we had in one month 527 new licensees, followed by 531 new licensees in May 2019.
