The Annecy basin will live to the rhythm of the padel 26 June at 2 July 2023 , thanks to the first edition of the “ Greenweez Annecy Padel Tour ” organized by the Haute-Savoie Committee in partnership with Tennis Elite, Wilson and the eco-responsible company Greenweez. The four participating clubs are the TC Annecy, TC Pringy, TC Saint Jorioz and TC Seynod.

A padel party in sight

The main objective of this event is to bring a real padel party to all the inhabitants of the Annecy region. It aims to develop a real community around this sport, to create continuity in the development of padel in France and to offer a promotion of the discipline through local padel clubs. This festive week also aims to bring together the different clubs around a common project and stimulate enthusiasm for this rapidly expanding sport.

A week of diverse competitions

The competitions of the week, offering tournaments from P100 to P500, will be aimed at various audiences and categories: Ladies, Men and Mixed.

Sunday, June 25 will be dedicated to an open day, for fans, families and anyone who wants to discover padel. Additional information will be available on the social networks of the participating clubs.

Then, from Monday June 26 to Friday June 30, “night session” tournaments will be organized in each club. These tournaments will be spread over two consecutive evenings with qualifying and final draws. In the event of bad weather, matches may be postponed.

Finally, the closing weekend will see the running of a men's P500 tournament. This event will be held in three stages: a pre-qualifying draw on Saturday morning at two venues, a qualifying draw in the afternoon at two venues and a final draw on Sunday at one venue. In case of rain, covered courts in Annemasse are reserved.

A local partnership

This event is also marked by the partnership with the company Greenweez, specialized in the online sale of organic and eco-responsible products. Based in Saint Jorioz, Greenweez is thus strengthening its local roots in the sport and demonstrating its desire to become a partner of padel in France. By partnering with this amateur competition circuit, the company is helping to democratize this discipline around Lake Annecy.

Entertainment and rewards

The competitions will be surrounded by several activities, such as open days scheduled for Sunday 25 and Wednesday 28 June. A symposium will also be organized on Wednesday June 28 at Annecy Tennis for club leaders and local authorities.
