Hubert Picquier, the elected official in charge of padel for the French Tennis Federation for nearly 6 months could well succeed in bringing in the padel in a new era. In a short time, long-discussed themes could emerge from 2019 ...

The challenger at Casa Padel "We will help them to grow

When we see the facilities and the motivation at Casa Padel for this Challenger, it is a very good thing for the padel. This competition has just been born. The role of the FFT will be to help them grow.

The development of padel : "Aids will be granted"

We will focus on 4 pillars. First the territorial mesh. The places of practice were identified.

Aid will be granted for the installation of padel within federal structures, but also with affiliated / authorized / commercial structures.

"Youth Championships and + 45 years"

The French Tennis Federation will set up a championships of + 45 years, but also a Youth Championship.

“2 fields of padel by league center ”

The development of padel in leagues and competition go through the installation of at least 2 padel by league center.

“More specific training padel will be implemented ”

Arrangements are made for the teaching of padel, to allow people who do not come from tennis to come and train.

Regarding the DE padel, it is in progress, but it is not our responsibility but that of the ministry.

As of 2019, measures have been taken to control the teaching of padel.

But I remind you that we can already teach the padel with the animator CQP.

"FFT PADEL TOUR, the national circuit of padel"

The French Tennis Federation sets up its circuit: the FFT PADEL TOUR.

It will be a competition that will go through big cities and that will consist of 5 steps in 2019, 7 steps in 2020 and 9 in 12 steps in 2021.

And an annual master will be our little Roland Garros from padel.

From 2019, the competition is set up.

"A Master on the Parvis of Notre-Dame"

We are going to decentralize part of the Master's FFT PADEL TOUR towards the Parvis of Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral.

The semi-finals and finals could be held on the forecourt with 2 at 3 thousand people.

We will do animation and development. Because the padel does not have the same history as tennis in France.

We must not dissociate the development of the competition.

Both must be together.

France: "An international weight"

France must have weight in Paraguay. This is why I will be present at the meeting organized by the International Federation of Padel during the world. A new president will be elected there.

“The desire to create a CNE PADEL and help French players ”

Our French have a very good level but they are not in the top 10 of the world ranking. We therefore want to create a CNE padel  and help French players to be part of the elites of the padel international.
