Great news for the padel in Great Britain. Our sport is now part of the Lawn Tennis Association, institution that manages tennis.

The decision was passed unanimously by Sports England, Sports Scotland et Sports Wales. THE padel is now part of the great tennis family in Great Britain.

For those new to the LTA, it is the body in charge of the management and development of tennis in Great Britain. An association which brings together several countries including England, Wales and Scotland.

Le padel being still in its infancy, it needed a helping hand to finally launch the adventure. If we take a look at several countries in Europe, the padel needs the help of major and solid institutions for its launch. We see it in France but also in Italy to name only these countries.

This new decision will therefore make it possible to develop the padel in a solid structure, to prepare the players and the monitors, but especially to insert tracks in the tennis clubs for reach by 2023 more than 400 tracks throughout the territory.

Another good news for our sport in this racquet-loving country.
