For anyone with a project to  create a padel club , one of the recurring questions is: “ how many lands are needed  to get started? ”

We will not discuss the financial aspect but the sporty aspect  in these few lines where we will try to give you information.

One padel court is not enough

With un  only ground , you will be able to accommodate approximately  32 players per day  with 8 sessions of 1h30 or even 40 players if you make reservations for an hour ... But with only one field, you end up very very  quickly blocked . People are not going to be happy with playing only once a week, or even an hour.

This is what happens in most tennis clubs, which only want to build one court, to "try it out" and whose aim is to keep their "tennis members" and not to really develop padel. They are very quickly faced with a  saturation  and their players find themselves forced to go and play elsewhere to satisfy their padel desires.

Indeed, padel is a sport that is booming everywhere, the interest it arouses grows day by day, once you have tasted it you only want one thing, to return to the court.  Two courts are already much more interesting than one , but in our opinion, to be able to create a real padel dynamic in a club, the ideal is to have  4 tracks  !

Why 4 fields?

Four tracks is obviously a budget for a club, and we understand that some may have some reluctance to the idea of ​​launching a project of this magnitude. And yet, there is so much to be gained!

Firstly it allows you to accommodate a good number of players , and ensure that they can come and play several times a week, without having reservation problems (128 players per day with sessions of 1h30!).

Second, you can   offer training to adults  both collectively and individually. You will also have the possibility of  create a school for young people , who are the next generation and who will allow your club to  sustain .

Third, the  sports events.  By offering fun events such as tournaments  ascents / descents  or in  friendly tournaments and discoveries , you promote exchanges between members. You will also have the possibility to organize  approved competitions , which allows your players to challenge those of other clubs, who will at the same time discover your facilities. It might make them want to come back during the year to play a few games!
