Le Dordogne Tennis Committee, there are currently 5 clubs and 9 outdoor tracks. In addition, a project for a covered structure with two tracks should see the light of day in 2023 as part of the rehabilitation of the Departmental Center. Other club projects are also underway and in total there are no less than 175 classified licensees including 35 women. In all, 4 structures offer padel lessons throughout the year for adults and children.

With this expansion, the Committee launched this year a mixed Interclub padel at the request of the clubs. This championship brings together club teams and is played with two men's matches and one mixed match. Women are not forgotten and can replace men!

For this first edition, thirteen teams have registered, two divisions have been created, with three pools. A final will take place on May 8th to designate two “Dordogne champion” teams in each category.

Note that two clubs have entered teams without having facilities or even licensed padel players: the simple pleasure of discovery.

The padel dynamic is taking off in Dordogne thanks to the discovery activities in the clubs and the recent tournaments organized by the committee, including a leisure tournament which allowed many people to discover the practice.

The Dordogne Committee is continuing its development in padel competition with success, by organizing a Departmental Pairs Championship as part of the French Championship, and a Mixed Pairs Championship which has been a great success since the beginning.

The Dordogne is establishing itself as a land of padel, and it doesn't intend to stop there!
