Last weekend there was a very important meeting related to a possible integration of the padel within the French Tennis Federation (FFT).
The FFT unanimously voted to integrate the padel within the bosom of its structure. The vice-president of the FFT, Jean-Pierre Dartevelle is the vice-president of the French Tennis Federation (FFT) in charge of the competition and the French teams. Former pro football player in the 70s in Sochaux where he played the position of defender, he joined the FFT alongside Jean Gachassin in 2008 before the presidential elections.
He is also in charge of the file padel. He gave us an interview that will certainly go down in history and confirms this wonderful news for tennis and football. padel. The FFT will therefore also represent the padel as is obviously tennis but also beach tennis.
Overall, Mr Dartevelle tells us that the FFT is delighted to see this new sport join the Federation. But there is still a long way to go, particularly administrative. He explains to us that there should be a single license (Tennis, Padel, Beach tennis) for the year 2015/2016 if all goes well. It will be necessary to wait and obtain all the authorizations of the ministry of sports to transform the test.

Hello. I am planning to build a fitness room. The plot concerned is large enough to receive 3 courses of padel not covered. These activities can be complementary. The property taxes on the buildings of my municipality are very high, can you inform me if these taxes are payable for courses of padel ?
Thank you to enlighten me.
A.BENEZIS.
Hello, you should get closer to land builders of padel who are certainly used to these problems:

Roll on the first season of Padel in France !! The work of enthusiasts, who believe in this sport, will eventually pay off I'm sure
How can we merge the fede of padel and tennis while the fede of padel does not exist, see the official journal of the associations and which is legitimate to decide this decision for the future of the padel
Hello, the French federation of padel indicates that a priori it will not take the different directions that exist in the padel. THE padel should integrate the existing FFT structure. As soon as the DSP (Delegation of Public Service) is obtained by the Ministry of Sports, they will do the necessary to integrate and set up the padel in their structure. We can hope for an official first year of padel in September 2015 ...
Hello, I play Padel for more than twenty years now, I was president of the first club in the Paris region on the only ground of Padel in the highs of the Seine…. And I hear that things will move forward for well, twenty years now ...
Are we really at the turning point of this sport, which I practiced not only in Spain but also in South and North America?
And if so, then how to participate in its development, so that we can finally play Padel everywhere in France…
Thank you
Alain
Good evening Alain,
What was your club called?
We believe that there is a lot of evidence that the padel expands.
If you have any ideas to help us develop this sport, please do not hesitate to contact us at contact@padelmagazine.fr
Good night
Already it would be necessary to advertise the padel because it is known by less than 1% of the French population to see maybe less. When we talk about padel has a person he believes in the sport of paddle with boards on the water. In my previous message I wanted to say of course the license should not be too expensive.
You are right. The day the first sports season of padel will see the light of day, I am sure there will be quite a few com. Anyway, the com starts now! 🙂 We will soon try to launch an advertising campaign (planned for the month of April / May). But given the costs, we will be making a donation appeal soon to help us communicate on the padel and increase the influence of the site. Besides if you have any ideas of com, do not hesitate to send us an email at contact@padelmagazine.fr
Have a good day
Finally, it is not too early, the FFt could have integrated the padel before because when we see that beach tennis which has very few members is already part of it, I believe at least for 2 years and that there are more than 4 million players of padel in Spain. Now we should not pay an overpriced license. Because already the grounds of padel are very expensive.
On the other hand I did not understand at all the sentence we can play padel from everywhere ah?
For many reasons, the FFT did not want to get involved in the padel. But in Italy or Portugal, the tennis federations have taken the padel, in England, the padel seems to be developing rapidly. And in France, I invite you to read the many reports on the clubs on our site, there is a real craze. If you listen to the end of the interview, the question is put to him… The Vice-President replied that it is largely a question of timing.
Why in France do we want to change the rules of the Pádel ?!
In doubles in tennis, the no ad and super tie-break system are commonly used in official tournaments, especially team matches. Suddenly, these rules were transposed to padel.
Tournié laurent, check your words before speaking. you only seem to know the numbers of Padel for spain, and for the world, you have an idea of comparison between the beach and the padel??
still a beauf who believes all know
You are not afraid that the FFT will do nothing or manage not to develop the padel so that it does not shade tennis?
We think this is very good news for the padel in France. Joining a structure is an opportunity. Beach tennis is a good example of success, it seems to us.
Great ! But I didn't quite understand… When the FFT will officially launch the competitions, etc. ?
Normally, the first season is scheduled in 2015 / 2016. We will keep you posted ! 😉
