Located in a green setting on a land area of around 80 ares, the Tennis & Padel of the Association Sportive d'Électricité de Strasbourg has been established since 1974 in the Montagne Verte district, in the heart of the city of Strasbourg.
Our facilities are made up of:
Building of about 200 m² with roof covered with photovoltaic panels, it includes:
The 2 courts covered in greenset is located in a room (not insulated and not heated) with roof covered with photovoltaic panels. They are lit and the playing surface was redone in 2012.
The outdoor courts, all lit, consist of 2 courts in porous concrete (renovated in 2017) and 2 courts in synthetic grass (date from 2009).
As the new President of the Tennis Association of the Electricity Sport Association since October 2018, I wanted to develop the activity Padel by building a first site on our facilities. Indeed, it was important to us to continue and complete in spring 2019 the project initiated by the former management team, and more particularly by our former President.
Today we can only share certain implacable observations:
This is why Padel seems to us to be a discipline of the future:
Within our Tennis licensees we have more and more practitioners of Padel (who play either in other clubs or in private structures) and the demand for the development of this activity internally is increasingly strong. This confirms the strategic direction taken by the French Tennis Federation which made the development of the Padel one of its priorities. In addition, we are fortunate to have among our ranks, in the person of our coach DE, one of the best players of Padel Alsatian, who will be extremely driving in the perspective of developing this discipline.
This is why it was decided, in view of the necessary budgetary envelope, to build initially only one land of Padel. If in the future, the hoped-for “boom” were to take place, a project to build a second site could well see the light of day (see site plan above).
The project for the establishment of a first Padel on our facilities takes the following form:
Concerning the use of the land of Padel, it is obviously made available in 1er place of members who only practice Padel or members who play tennis with the Padel optional. They can, as with tennis courts, book it online and come and play.
In order to introduce the discipline to those who do not yet know it, it is planned:
Concerning the organization of an official tournament, it would seem that it is not possible to do it as long as the club does not have 2 courts, which is our case for the moment.
At the end of the implementation of the project, the club sets itself as a primary objective an increase of 10 to 15% in its number of licensees. If ever the demand really increases and the need for a second short is felt, this project will be launched, the physical location being already available, all that remains is to find a financing plan!
Finally, an increase in the hours of our DE trainer could even be considered if the latter were to officially teach the Padel, once the federal trainings are in place.
